Clinical description FAP is clinically heterogeneous, with the clinical presentation depending on the genotype and geographic origin. FAP usually presents as a length-dependent sensory polyneuropathy with autonomic disturbances. [orpha.net]

Hereditary amyloid polyneuropathies are classified in four types based on clinical presentation. [japi.org]

Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation, amyloid deposition on tissue biopsy, and the diagnostic hallmark TTR mutation on genetic testing. [ng.neurology.org]

• Chills

  Individuals with MWS often have episodic fever, chills, and joint pain. As a result, MWS is considered a type of periodic fever syndrome. MWS is caused by a defect in the CIAS1 gene which creates the protein cryopyrin. [icd.codes]

  The most dreadful in this category is surely the spine-chilling glioblastoma multiforme. [theneurologylounge.com]

• Rigor

  Throughout, the approach of OTM is humane and ethical and, at the same time, factual, reliable, honest(especially where knowledge is limited) and rigorously scientific. This is not just a textbook of "First World" medicine. [books.google.com]

• Hepatosplenomegaly

  Clinically they are characterized by renal involvement with nephrotic syndrome, hypertension, hepatosplenomegaly, petechial rash and cholestasis. [ivami.com]

  Clinical features include renal amyloidosis resulting in nephrotic syndrome, arterial hypertension, hepatosplenomegaly, cholestasis, petechial skin rash. Sequence similarities Belongs to the apolipoprotein A1/A4/E family. [abcam.com]

  Clinical features include extensive visceral amyloid deposits, renal amyloidosis resulting in nephrotic syndrome, arterial hypertension, hepatosplenomegaly, cholestasis, petechial skin rash. There is no involvement of the nervous system. [uniprot.org]

  Chronic weakness, edema, proteinuria, and hepatosplenomegaly were features. McKusick (1974) followed up on the family reported by Maxwell and Kimbell (1936). [genome.jp]

• Skin Rash

  We describe the clinical features of another such family in whom petechial skin rash appeared to be a marker for the disease, which was non-neuropathic and of the Ostertag-type. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Clinical features include extensive visceral amyloid deposits, renal amyloidosis resulting in nephrotic syndrome, arterial hypertension, hepatosplenomegaly, cholestasis, petechial skin rash. There is no involvement of the nervous system. [uniprot.org]

  Clinical features include renal amyloidosis resulting in nephrotic syndrome, arterial hypertension, hepatosplenomegaly, cholestasis, petechial skin rash. Sequence similarities Belongs to the apolipoprotein A1/A4/E family. [abcam.com]

  Petechial skin rash was a striking feature, and petechial hemorrhages were induced by minimal abrasion. Extensive amyloid deposition in the lungs was illustrated. [genome.jp]

• Urticaria

  MWS is closely related to two other syndromes, familial cold urticaria and neonatal onset multisystem inflammatory disease—in fact, all three are related to mutations in the same gene and subsumed under the term cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes [icd.codes]

  Although some features of the family of Maxwell and Kimbell (1936) are similar to those of urticaria, deafness and amyloidosis ( 191900 ), no deafness was present in their family. [genome.jp]

• Long Arm

  The APOA1 gene, located on the long arm of chromosome 11 (11q23-q24), encoding apolipoprotein A-1 (apoA-I), the main component of high density lipoproteins (HDL) plasma. [ivami.com]

  Its gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 18 and contains 4 exons and 3 introns. [5] The systemic amyloidoses are designated by a capital A (for amyloid) followed by the abbreviation for the chemical identity of the fibril protein. [emedicine.medscape.com]

• Neonate-Onset

  MWS is closely related to two other syndromes, familial cold urticaria and neonatal onset multisystem inflammatory disease—in fact, all three are related to mutations in the same gene and subsumed under the term cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes [icd.codes]

  Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome-associated amyloidosis (CAPS) includes familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome (FCAS), Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS), and neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID). [patient.info]

Following this workup the patient should undergo a DNA analysis and tissue biopsy (Table 1 ), although the uneven distribution of amyloid fibrils may yield false-negative results. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
