title: [Amyloid neuropathy resulting from an unknown protein].
abstract: Amyloid neuropathy is related to acquired or hereditary forms of amyloidosis resulting from transthyretin variants. We reported a 42-year-old man suffering from a peripheral neuropathy not related to transthyretin mutations. Mass spectrometry may be useful to identify this rare form of amyloid neuropathy.
