Prealbumin Tyr-77 Amyloidosis
Prealbumin Tyr-77 Amyloidosis: Definition and Description of Prealbumin Tyr-77 Amyloidosis: Prealbumin Tyr-77 Amyloidosis is a rare form of systemic amyloidosis characterized by the misfolding and aggregation of the prealbumin protein (also known as transthyretin) at the Tyr-77 amino acid position. This condition results in the deposition of amyloid fibrils in various tissues and organs, leading…
Isoleucine 33 Amyloidosis
Isoleucine 33 Amyloidosis Definition and Description of Isoleucine 33 Amyloidosis Isoleucine 33 Amyloidosis is a rare form of systemic amyloidosis, characterized by the abnormal accumulation of amyloid fibrils derived from the protein Isoleucine-33 (I33). This protein misfolding leads to the deposition of amyloid proteins in various organs, severely disrupting normal function. Amyloidosis can affect the…
Familial Cutaneous Amyloidosis
Familial Cutaneous Amyloidosis Definition and Description of Familial Cutaneous Amyloidosis Familial Cutaneous Amyloidosis is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the deposition of amyloid protein in the skin. Amyloid is an abnormal protein produced by cells in the bone marrow and can accumulate in various tissues and organs. In familial cutaneous amyloidosis, this deposition primarily…
