To describe and characterize a unique familial form of generalized amyloidosis presenting predominantly with peripheral nerve pathology.
Clinical and neurological assessment of patients presenting with atypical peripheral neuropathy at Sto. António Hospital in Porto, Portugal.
Investigation of familial pedigree and anatomical distribution of nerve involvement in generalized amyloidosis.
Identified a familial generalized amyloid disorder displaying prominent, selective degeneration and involvement of peripheral nerves.
