Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: AL amyloidosis (AL) results from the misfolding of immunoglobulin light chains (IG LCs). Aim of this study was to comprehensively analyse kappa LC sequences from AL patients in comparison with multiple myeloma (MM). OBJECTIVE: We analysed IGKV/IGKJ usage and associated organ tropism and IGKV1/D-33 in terms of mutational analysis and theoretical biochemical properties. MATERIAL AND METHODS: cDNA and...
