Biochemical and clinical characterization of prealbuminCHICAGO: an apparently benign variant of serum prealbumin (transthyretin) discovered with high-resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis.

Abstract excerpt

We report identification, biochemical, clinical, and genetic studies of an apparently benign, electrophoretic variant of serum prealbumin (PALB, transthyretin, TTR) in a North American kindred of Swedish ancestry. The variant polypeptide stems from a C to T point mutation in exon 4 which results in methionine instead of threonine at position 119 of the mature molecule. It was discovered incidentally in a girl...
