Comment on list classification: Demoting from green to amber as only 1 family reported. Agreement for the amber rating was confirmed with members of the GMS renal specialist test group.Created: 12 Sep 2019, 3:46 p.m. | Last Modified: 8 Oct 2019, 1:07 p.m.

Associated with Apolipoprotein C-III deficiency (#614028) only in OMIM.
PMID: 26790392 - Valleix et al 2016 - report a French family with severe renal amyloidosis and hypotriglyceridemia, both caused by a novel D25V apoC-III variant. The D25V apoC-III variant was only found in family members affected with amyloidosis, hypotriglyceridemia and reduced apoC-III levels, and not in healthy normotriglycemic family members.
A PubMed search with APOC3 or Apolipoprotein C-III and amyloidosis did not find any further cases.Created: 13 Aug 2019, 1:14 p.m. | Last Modified: 13 Aug 2019, 1:14 p.m.
