Progressive peripheral and autonomic neuropathy are associated with neural and visceral deposition of amyloid, derived most commonly from the Met-30 variant of the plasma protein transthyretin.
Autonomic neuropathy in nondiabetic offspring of type 2 diabetic subjects is associated with urinary albumin excretion rate and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure: the Fredericia Study.
We report a 40-year-old woman with a new transthyretin (TTR) variant, glutamine replacing leucine at residue 55 (Leu55Gln), who showed progressive somatic and autonomic neuropathy, glaucoma, and vitreous opacities.
We recently identified a mutation in the I-kappa B kinase associated protein (IKBKAP) gene as the major cause of familial dysautonomia (FD), a recessive sensory and autonomic neuropathy.
Familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) type I is caused by a mutated transthyretin (TTRV30M) and characterized by a sensorimotor and autonomic neuropathy.
The highly amyloidogenic human TTR variant in which leucine at position 55 is replaced by proline (L55PTTR) is responsible for aggressive fatal amyloidosis with peripheral and autonomic neuropathy, cardiomyopathy and nephropathy.
Familial amyloidosis or familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) TTRV30M is a hereditary disease presented, in most cases, as a sensorimotor and autonomic neuropathy.
Familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) TTRVal30Met is a lethal autosomal dominant sensorimotor and autonomic neuropathy due to a substitution of methionine for valine at position 30 of the transthyretin (TTR) gene.
In this study we exploit forms of NGF, mutated at residue R100, inspired by the human genetic disease HSAN V (Hereditary Sensory Autonomic Neuropathy Type V), which would allow increasing the dose of NGF without triggering pain.
The association between glutathione S-transferase T1 and M1 gene polymorphisms and cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy in Slovak adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
The aim of the study was to compare the prevalence of GST T1/M1 gene polymorphisms between diabetic adolescents with (CAN+) and without (CAN-) cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy.
The aim of the study was to compare the prevalence of GST T1/M1 gene polymorphisms between diabetic adolescents with (CAN+) and without (CAN-) cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy.
Transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathy is a hereditary form of amyloidosis characterized by sensorimotor and autonomic neuropathy, cardiac conduction defects, and infiltrative cardiomyopathy.
Transgenic expression of neuronal dystonin isoform 2 partially rescues the disease phenotype of the dystonia musculorum mouse model of hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathy VI.
Although the potential transmissibility of this new prion disease is probably extremely low, we advocate PrP gene analysis before biopsy in the investigation of peripheral and autonomic neuropathies, or for patients with unexplained diarrhoea and neuropathy.
Autonomic neuropathy is a major component of familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) due to mutated transthyretin, with sudomotor failure as a common manifestation.
Transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP) is a highly disabling, life-threatening disease characterized by progressive sensorimotor and autonomic neuropathy.
The distribution of DR3 and DR4 risk alleles was not associated with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy both in patients with normal albumin excretion rate and microalbuminuria (1.6 vs 2.1; p = 0.21).
