A rare variant transthyretin that has a leucine-for-valine substitution at position 30 was reported in a sporadic case of type 1 familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP). We found the same substitution in members of a Japanese family with FAP. Three individuals in this family had a guanine-to-cytosine mutation at the first base of codon 30 in exon 2. This family shows a direct link between a valine-to-leucine substitution at position 30 and type 1 FAP.
在1例散发性1型家族性淀粉样多神经病(FAP)病例中,报道了一种罕见的转甲状腺素蛋白变异体,其第30位的缬氨酸被亮氨酸取代。我们在一个患有FAP的日本家族成员中发现了相同的取代。该家族中的3名个体在第2外显子密码子30的第一个碱基处发生了鸟嘌呤到胞嘧啶的突变。这个家族显示了第30位缬氨酸到亮氨酸的取代与1型FAP之间的直接联系。
