Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) amyloidosis is a rare protein misfolding disease where fibrils of the N-terminal domain of the protein accumulate in several organs, leading to their failure. Although ApoA-I amyloidosis is systemic, the different amyloidogenic variants show a preferential tissue accumulation that appears to correlate with the location of the mutation in the protein sequence and with the local...
