We report studies on two German-American persons with systemic amyloidosis. Affected subjects presented with carpal tunnel syndrome in the sixth decade of life followed by peripheral neuropathy. DNA analysis of the transthyretin gene showed a new point mutation which is responsible for substitution of valine for isoleucine at position 107 of the transthyretin molecule.
我们报告了对两名患有系统性淀粉样变性的德裔美国人的研究。受影响的受试者在60岁时出现腕管综合征,随后出现周围神经病变。转甲状腺素蛋白基因的DNA分析显示了一个新的点突变,该突变导致转甲状腺素蛋白分子第107位的异亮氨酸被缬氨酸取代。
