Hereditary systemic amyloidosis
Gene: APOC2
Checked that the variants are heterozygous in the two reported cases with amyloidosis (PMID: 30197986 and 27297947). Hyperlipoproteinemia, type Ib (#207750) is reported at autosomal recessive inheritance in OMIM.Created: 8 Oct 2019, 12:29 p.m. | Last Modified: 8 Oct 2019, 12:29 p.m.

Associated with Hyperlipoproteinemia, type Ib (#207750) in OMIM.
PMID: 30197986 - Sethi et al 2018 - report 5 older adults (mean 71.6 years at diagnosis) presented with nephrotic-range proteinuria. All renal biopsy specimens showed massive mesangial nodules composed of weakly eosinophilic, periodic acid-Schiff negative, Congo red-positive amyloid deposits. APOC2 p.Lys41Thr mutant protein was found by mass spectrometry in amyloid deposits of all patients. DNA sequencing in 1 patient confirmed the presence of the mutation.
PMID: 27297947 - Nasr et al 2017 - report an initial patient and then 7 others with kidney involvement and with Apo-CII-rich amyloid deposits. DNA sequencing of the APOC2 gene in the initial patient and one of her children detected a heterozygous c.206A→T transition, causing an E69V missense mutation. They also detected the mutant peptide in the proband's renal amyloid deposits.
PMID: 27840752 - Lohani et al 2016 - 61-year-old female presenting with renal failure and nephrotic syndrome. No sequencing but laser microdissection and liquid chromatography mass spectrometry detected high levels of apolipoprotein C-II.
Only 2 patients sequenced but in the Sethi et al paper the mutant protein was found in 4 more patients.Created: 13 Aug 2019, 12:40 p.m. | Last Modified: 13 Aug 2019, 12:52 p.m.
