Familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy.

M D Benson

    Trends in Neurosciences
    |March 1, 1989

    Summary

    Amyloidosis, linked to Alzheimer's disease, involves localized amyloid deposition. This review focuses on peripheral nervous system (PNS) amyloidosis, a less-studied but significant area.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Pathology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Amyloidosis is increasingly recognized for its connection to Alzheimer's disease.
    • Cortical plaques in Alzheimer's disease represent a localized form of amyloid deposition.
    • Intracranial vascular amyloid deposits containing A4 or beta-protein are common in Alzheimer's disease.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the involvement of amyloid in the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
    • To highlight the significance of PNS amyloidosis as a distinct pathological entity.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of amyloidosis, focusing on PNS involvement.
    • Analysis of existing research on amyloid fibril deposition in various organs.

    Main Results:

    • Amyloid deposition in organs beyond the brain is less described.
    • Amyloid involvement of the PNS is a significant area requiring further attention.

    Conclusions:

    • While intracranial amyloid is linked to Alzheimer's, systemic amyloidosis, particularly in the PNS, warrants greater research focus.
    • Understanding PNS amyloidosis is crucial for a comprehensive view of amyloid-related pathologies.
