Familial amyloid polyneuropathy related to transthyretin mutation VaL30 to Leu in a Japanese family
1998
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.
