Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To examine the morphology of Schwann cells and endoneurial microvessels with electron microscopy. METHODS: Sural nerve biopsy specimens from 49 patients with familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) with transthyretin Val30Met mutation were assessed. Patients included 11 early-onset cases from endemic foci and 38 late-onset cases from nonendemic areas. RESULTS: Loss of nerve fibers with or without...
