Overview
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- It is understood that amyloidosis is the result of deposition of Amyloid.[1]
- Amyloid is an abnormal insoluble extracellular protein which may cause organic dysfunction and a wide variety of clinical syndromes.
- These abnormal amyloids are derived from misfolding and aggregation of normally soluble proteins.
- Amyloid depositions also have glycosaminoglycans and serum amyloid P component (SAP) which alter the propensity for amyloid formation.[2][3][4]
- Amyloid deposition can disrupt tissue structure of involved organ and consequently leads to organ failure.[5]
- Genetic mutations in different genes may lead to misfolding protein product:
- Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR)[6][7][8]
- The most common type of familial amyloidosis.
- Single nucleotide substitution on transthyretin gene on chromosome 18 leads to nonfunctional transthyretin protein.
- Transthyretin protein is responsible for thyroid hormone and vitamin A transport and is produced by liver.
- We can find normal transthyretin protein deposition in aged individuals (senile cardiac amyloid).
- Mutant transthyretin protein accelerate the process of deposition and leads to early onset disease.
- Apolipoprotein AI amyloidosis (A ApoAI)[9]
- Single nucleotide substitutions in apolipoprotein AI gene.
- The underlying pathogenesis is incomplete degradation of this protein in body.
- The mode of inheritance in autosomal dominant with different penetrance.
- Gelsolin amyloidosis (A Gel)[10][11]
- Gelsolin protein is produced in skeletal muscle and macrophages.
- 2 different mutations in gelsolin gene on chromosome 9 including Asp187Asn and Asp187Tyr leads to amyloid deposition and Gelsolin amyloidosis.
- Lysozyme amyloidosis (A Lys)[12]
- 4 different mutations on lysozyme gene including Ile56Thr, Asp67His, Trp64Arg, and Phe57Ile has been found to be associated with amyloidosis.
- Cystatin C amyloidosis (A Cys)[13][14]
- Cystatin C is a serine protease inhibitor.
- Leu68Gln mutation in its gene leads to cystatin C amyloidosis.
- Fibrinogen Aa-chain amyloidosis (A Fib)[15]
- 4 different mutations including Arg554Leu, Glu526Val, 4904delG, and 4897delT has been found to be associated with amyloidosis.
- Apolipoprotein AII amyloidosis (A ApoAII)
- Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR)[6][7][8]
Genetics
- Familial ATTR amyloidosis is transmitted in autosomal dominant pattern but it can have a heterogeneous nature of presentation.[16][17][18]
- Genes involved in the pathogenesis of Familial ATTR amyloidosis include:
Associated Conditions
Conditions associated with amyloidosis include:[19]
- MEN2A
Gross Pathology
On gross pathology, the organs affected by amyloidosis can be characterized by the following features:
- Porcelain like or waxy appearance
- Enlargement
Images
Microscopic Pathology
On microscopic histopathological analysis, amyloidosis is characterized by:[18][23]
- Green birefringence under polarized light after Congo red staining (appears red under normal light)
- Linear non-branching fibrils (indefinite length with an approximately same diameter)
- Distinct X-ray diffraction pattern consistent with Pauling's model of a cross-beta fibril
