Familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy is an inherited form of amyloidosis associated with a mutant form of a protein called transthyretin. The Methionine-30 variant is the most frequent mutation observed. This disorder is caused by deposition of this protein as amyloid in several organs, such as the
To assess whether neuropathy with anti-myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) antibody may improve after treatment with ibrutinib, an oral inhibitor of Bruton tyrosine kinase, we prospectively treated with ibrutinib a cohort of 3 patients with anti-MAG neuropathy and Waldenström Mutations of the neurotrophin receptor tyrosine kinase TrkA (NTRK1) cause congenital sensory neuropathy with insensitivity to pain and anhydrosis (CIPA), also called hereditary sensory and autonomous neuropathy type IV (HSAN IV). The neuronal splice variant of TrkA, TrkAII, binds two neurotrophin
BACKGROUND
Finnish amyloid variety is a rare familial amiloidosis polyneuropathy essentially observed in Finland. It concerns about six hundred people in the world in which five hundred reside in Finland.
METHODS
We report a case of a 58-year-old French woman with a 10-year history of lattice cornea
A to G transversion was identified in exon 4 of transthyretin gene in familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy in two sibling cases living in Osaka. This transversion led to the replacement of tyrosine by cysteine residue at codon 114 of 127 residue molecule. This identification was achieved by randomly
Two cases of familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) in a French family are reported. Clinical onset was in the fifth and sixth decades with decreased sensation in the lower limbs followed by involvement of the upper extremities. Motor changes appeared later and evolved to restrict ambulation.
The mechanism of amyloid formation in familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP), a hereditary disorder associated with mutant transthyretin (TTR), is still unknown. It is generally believed that altered conformations exposing cryptic regions are intermediary steps in this mechanism. A TTR
Polyneuropathies may exhibits clinical, electrophysiologic signs of neuromuscular junction impairment. Distal motor nerve terminals and neuromuscular junction contain pre or postsynaptically specific targets for circulating autoantibodies, if present in neuropathies. Motor nerve terminal blockade
Objective: To study the diagnostic potential of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFA) and their high affinity receptors (TrkB, VEGFR2) in the development and progression of diabetic
A Japanese kindred with dominantly inherited amyloid polyneuropathy, commonly called familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP), has been identified. Amyloid protein was transthyretin (TTR) related and the patients were heterozygous for the mutant gene encoding TTR with a single amino acid substitution
OBJECTIVE
CSF enhancement on MR images after intravenous administration of gadolinium chelate, which mimics subarachnoid hemorrhage, has been reported. The purpose of this study was to determine whether CSF enhancement can be seen on serial MR images following administration of contrast material in
Familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with extracellular deposition of mutant transthyretin (TTR) amyloid fibrils, particularly in the peripheral nervous system. We have hypothesized that binding of TTR fibrils to the receptor for advanced glycation end
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are essential for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Adverse effects of dasatinib have been reported; however, few reports have highlighted the association between dasatinib and demyelinating peripheral neuropathy (DPN). We report a patient with CML
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor disorder that is frequently associated with periodic leg movements (PLMS). RLS is generally considered to be a central nervous system (CNS)-related disorder although no specific lesion has been found to be associated with the syndrome. Reduced
Suramin, traditionally used in the treatment of trypanosomiasis, is under investigation in the treatment of cancer. One side effect that limits its use is the onset of a sensorimotor polyneuropathy. In order to investigate the mechanism by which suramin induces polyneuropathy, we examined its
