Identification of clonal immunoglobulin λ light-chain gene rearrangements in AL amyloidosis using next-generation sequencing
16 Aug 2021
Abstract excerpt
Amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is caused by deposition of abnormally folded clonal immunoglobulin (Ig) light chains made by malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow (BM), leading to multiorgan dysfunction. However, little is known of the factors that regulate the organ tropism of amyloid deposition in this disease. We aimed to identify the clonal composition of Igλ light-chain variable region (IGLV) genes...
