Journal Article
Antigenicity and cross-reactivity of denatured fibril proteins of primary, secondary, and myeloma associated amyloids.
TL;DR: The finding that amyloid fibrils of various origins have similarities in composition and, therefore, may have common factors involved in fibrillogenesis is indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Orthotopic liver transplantation for familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy: A pathological study
Beth H. Shaz,Beth H. Shaz,Beth H. Shaz,Fredric D. Gordon,Fredric D. Gordon,Fredric D. Gordon,W. David Lewis,W. David Lewis,W. David Lewis,Roger L. Jenkins,Roger L. Jenkins,Roger L. Jenkins,Martha Skinner,Martha Skinner,Martha Skinner,Urmila Khettry,Urmila Khettry,Urmila Khettry +17 more
TL;DR: Of the tissues removed at OLT, the histopathologic confirmation of FAP is most consistently made by the examination of hilar and vagus nerves, and these explants are suitable for grafting in non-FAP patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new transthyretin variant (Glu61Gly) associated with cardiomyopathy
Michael Rosenzweig,Martha Skinner,Tatiana Prokaeva,Roger Théberge,Catherine E. Costello,Brian M. Drachman,Lawreen H. Connors +6 more
TL;DR: The identification of a new transthyretin (TTR) gene mutation and variant protein, Glu61Gly, in a 55-year-old man with progressive cardiomyopathy, mild peripheral neuropathy and bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
