Hereditary systemic amyloidosis
Gene: FGA
Associated with Amyloidosis, familial visceral (#105200) in OMIM.
PMID: 29142973 - Rowczenio et al 2016 - 6 patients presented with proteinuria, hypertension, and/or lower limb edema. A novel FGA gene mutation was identified in each case: 2 frameshift mutations F521Sfs*27 and G519Efs*30 and 4 single base substitutions G555F, E526K, E524K, R554H. In 5 patients amyloid deposits were found only within the glomeruli. In 1 patient light-chain amyloid deposits were found.
PMID: 23551149 - Haidinger et al 2013 - large Spanish family with chronic kidney disease with late-onset gross proteinuria. Renal biopsies from 2 members revealed almost complete obliteration of the mesangial glomerular architecture, although kidney function was only moderately impaired. In these 2 living members, they identified the AFib R554L mutation.
PMID: 19073821 - Gillmore et al 2009 - describe 71 patients with fibrinogen amyloidosis, who were prospectively studied at the UK National Amyloidosis Centre. Direct sequencing of the FGA gene showed that 64 patients were heterozygous for the previously reported single base substitution that altered the codon at position 526 of the mature protein from that for glutamic acid to valine. 2 English patients were heterozygous for the previously reported fibrinogen mutation encoding a single base substitution that altered the codon at position 554 from arginine to leucine. 4 novel amyloidogenic fibrinogen mutations were discovered in Chinese, German and Afro-Caribbean patients.Created: 13 Aug 2019, 3:50 p.m. | Last Modified: 13 Aug 2019, 3:50 p.m.
