Provisionally associated with ?Amyloidosis, familial visceral (#105200) in OMIM.
PMID: 22693999 - Valleix et al 2012 - report a French family with 4 members who had progressive bowel dysfunction with extensive visceral amyloid deposits composed of β2-microglobulin. All the members of this family had normal circulating concentrations of β2-microglobulin and normal renal function. A heterozygous mutation in the B2M gene was found in each of the affected family members c.286G→A, Asp76Asn. The 3 unaffected family members tested were all wild type. The Asp76Asn β2-microglobulin variant was thermodynamically unstable and remarkably fibrillogenic in vitro under physiological conditions.
A PubMed search did not reveal any further cases.Created: 13 Aug 2019, 9:49 a.m. | Last Modified: 13 Aug 2019, 1:15 p.m.
