For reasons that are unknown, SAA proteins at some point become misfolded and deposit as amyloid. While these misfolded proteins mostly affect the kidneys, they can sometimes affect the liver and spleen as well. Treatment for AA amyloidosis is geared towards controlling the problems associated with the underlying inflammatory or infectious disease. Improvements in treatments for inflammatory diseases and chronic infections have led to a decline in AA amyloidosis in recent years, especially in developed countries.</p> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-item"> <div class="accordion-header"> <div class="accordion-title">ALECT2 Amyloidosis</div> <div class="toggle-icon"> <span class="icon"></span> <span class="icon"></span> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-content"> <p>ALECT2 amyloidosis is a recently recognized form of amyloidosis involving a protein called leukocyte chemotactic factor 2 (LECT2) which normally circulates in the blood and helps repair damaged tissue by attracting white blood cells. The underlying reason which causes LECT2 proteins to become abnormal and misfold is currently unknown. Excessive amounts of the LECT2 protein are not produced in patients and there have not been any mutations in the LECT2 gene identified thus far. ALECT2 amyloidosis appears to be more common in the elderly population of certain ethnic groups including those of Mexican, Native American, Punjabi, North African and Middle Eastern descent. This type of amyloid deposits have been most commonly found in the kidneys; however, they may also be found in the liver, adrenal glands and spleen. Experts believe that ALECT2 amyloidosis is underdiagnosed and may be a more common cause of kidney failure than currently suspected. While there are currently no existing treatments for this type of amyloidosis, research continues to grow in this area.</p> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-item"> <div class="accordion-header"> <div class="accordion-title">Aß2M Amyloidosis</div> <div class="toggle-icon"> <span class="icon"></span> <span class="icon"></span> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-content"> <p>Aß2M amyloidosis is a type of amyloidosis that is normally associated with patients who have been on kidney dialysis for more than five years. It is caused by the progressive build-up of the beta 2 microglobulin (Aß2M) protein, which is not effectively cleared by dialysis. Over time, the Aß2M proteins become abnormal, misfold and deposit as amyloid, primarily around the bones and joints. As modern dialysis procedures have improved, Aß2M amyloidosis is becoming much less common.</p> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-item"> <div class="accordion-header"> <div class="accordion-title">Apolipoprotein Amyloidosis</div> <div class="toggle-icon"> <span class="icon"></span> <span class="icon"></span> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-content"> <p>Apolipoprotein amyloidosis is caused by one of several proteins belonging to a family of proteins called apolipoproteins, which normally play important roles in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol and fat in the body.

Fibrinogen forms in the liver and plays a central role in blood clotting. Mutations in the fibrinogen gene give rise to an abnormal fibrinogen protein, which then misfolds and aggregates to form amyloid deposits. To date, 16 mutations in the fibrinogen alpha chain gene have been identified, which cause hereditary fibrinogen amyloidosis. All mutations cause amyloidosis and primarily affect the kidneys.

Gelsolin is found in the cytoskeleton and helps provide shape and structure for cells. Mutations in the gelsolin gene produce abnormal gelsolin proteins that are unstable and misfold to form amyloid deposits in the cranial nerves (emerging from the brain), eyes, skin and kidneys. This type of amyloidosis originated in Finland and has since been reported in other countries. Thus far, four different mutations in the gelsolin gene have been identified, which cause amyloidosis.

Lysozyme, an enzyme found in tears and mucus, plays an important role in reducing infections by breaking down bacterial cell walls. Mutations in the lysozyme gene produce abnormal lysozyme proteins, which misfold and aggregate to form amyloid deposits. There are currently a total of nine different mutations known to cause ALys amyloidosis; depending on the mutant gene, a variety of organs are affected, including the kidneys, digestive system and exocrine glands (tear, salivary and sweat glands).
