title: APOA1 related amyloidosis: a case report and literature review.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Amyloidosis results from local or systemic extracellular deposition of insoluble protein fibrils and is associated with certain rare mutations in APOA1 encoding apolipoprotein (apo) A-I.
  
  
  METHODS
  In a patient with renal-predominant amyloidosis with neuropathy, we found the APOA1 G26R mutation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  While the spectrum of APOA1 mutations provides no particular mechanistic insights, molecular diagnosis may still be important due to clinical differences between amyloidosis resulting from mutation in APOA1 vs. other genes.
