Abstract

Autosomal dominant hereditary amyloidosis represents not 1 disease but a group of diseases, each the result of mutations in a specific protein. The most common form is transthyretin amyloidosis, which has been recognized clinically for over 50 years as a familial polyneuropathy. Nonneuropathic amyloidoses (Ostertag type amyloidosis) include those due to abnormalities in lysozyme, fibrinogen Aalpha-chain, and apolipoprotein A-I and A-II. The role of lysozyme in amyloid-related human disorders was first described in 1993; to date, there have been only 9 publications describing this disorder, which is a nonneuropathic form of hereditary amyloidosis. Reported cases have involved 7 unrelated families. We describe here our own experience with 4 families suffering from lysozyme amyloidosis: the first had prominent renal manifestations with sicca syndrome, the second and third had prominent gastrointestinal symptoms, and the fourth had a dramatic bleeding event due to rupture of abdominal lymph nodes. To our knowledge, this last symptom has not been reported previously, but is reminiscent of the hepatic hemorrhage seen in a previously reported case of a patient with lysozyme amyloidosis. To characterize the manifestations of this disor...Continue Reading
