A Turkish family is described with two members suffering from familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy. Their transthyretin genes were examined using the polymerase chain reaction, and both patients possessed the met30 mutation in both of their transthyretin genes. In this family, only individuals who are homozygous for the met30 mutation have developed symptoms.
本文描述了一个土耳其家庭,其中两名成员患有家族性淀粉样多神经病。使用聚合酶链反应检测了他们的转甲状腺素蛋白基因,两名患者的转甲状腺素蛋白基因均存在met30突变。在这个家族中,只有met30突变纯合子个体出现了症状。
