Abstract excerpt
Four different genes encoding variant transthyretins (TTR) have been known in Japanese cases with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP); TTR Met30, Gly42, Arg50 and Cys114. First three mutant genes can be detected by restriction fragment length polymorphism using NsiI, Cfr13I and MvaI, respectively. Since a single base change responsible for TTR Cys114 produces no new restriction site, RFLP is not directly...
