  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 Familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) is an inherited systemic amyloidosis characterized by the extracellular deposition of fibrillar amyloid protein and primarily affects the peripheral and autonomic nervous systems. The inheritance is an autosomal dominant with a high penetrance rate and equal sex ratio. The first symptoms usually appear in individuals between 20 and 45 years of age, and the disease is always progressive and fatal in about 10~20 years. Currently, there is no specific therapy for FAP.

 Japanese, Portuguese and Swedish types of FAP all result from a systemic deposition of amyloid fibrils formed by a prealbumin variant containing a methionine-for-valine substitution at the amino acid position 30.
