Light chain-associated amyloid deposits comprised of a novel κ constant domain

Abstract excerpt

Light chain-associated amyloidosis is characterized by the deposition as fibrils of monoclonal light chain-related components consisting predominately of the variable domain (VL) or the VL plus up to approximately 60 residues of the constant domain (CL). Here, we describe a patient (designated BIF) with light chain-associated amyloidosis and kappa Bence Jones proteinuria in whom, notably, >80% of the amyloid...
