Summaries for Amyloidosis, Finnish Type

About this section
OMIM : 58 The Finnish type of systemic amyloidosis is characterized clinically by a unique constellation of features including corneal lattice dystrophy, and cranial neuropathy, bulbar signs, and skin changes. Some patients may develop peripheral neuropathy and renal failure. The disorder is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern; however, homozygotes with a more severe phenotype have also been reported (Meretoja, 1973). (105120)

MalaCards based summary : Amyloidosis, Finnish Type, also known as finnish type amyloidosis, is related to amyloidosis, familial visceral and amyloidosis, hereditary, transthyretin-related, and has symptoms including cutis laxa and bilateral facial paralysis. An important gene associated with Amyloidosis, Finnish Type is GSN (Gelsolin), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Metabolism of proteins and Activated PKN1 stimulates transcription of AR (androgen receptor) regulated genes KLK2 and KLK3. The drugs Ethanol and 2-Phenylethanol have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include skin, eye and lung, and related phenotypes are renal insufficiency and cardiomyopathy

Disease Ontology : 12 An amyloidosis that is characterized by abnormal deposits of amyloid protein that mainly affect the eyes, nerves and skin and has material basis in mutations in the gelsolin gene (GSN), and has symptoms corneal lattice dystrophy, has symptom bilateral facial paralysis, has symptom cutis laxa.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 76 Amyloidosis 5: A hereditary generalized amyloidosis due to gelsolin amyloid deposition. It is typically characterized by cranial neuropathy and lattice corneal dystrophy. Most patients have modest involvement of internal organs, but severe systemic disease can develop in some individuals causing peripheral polyneuropathy, amyloid cardiomyopathy, and nephrotic syndrome leading to renal failure.
