Proteins of the systemic amyloidoses.

Abstract excerpt

Significant advances were made this year in the understanding of serum amyloid A isotypes and in the definition of different amyloid light-chain proteins. Increasing numbers of hereditary amyloid-related transthyretin mutations have been reported (more than 30 to date). Two new hereditary amyloid proteins in several different kinships have appeared, ie, fibrinogen A alpha and lysozyme, each with a single point...
