Study of Systemic Amyloidosis Presentation and Prognosis


PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Patients receive a comprehensive evaluation with an emphasis on
identifying prognostic and diagnostic factors. Assessments include gastrointestinal, renal,
hematologic, dermatologic, cardiac, and serologic studies. Immunologic studies include
antinuclear antibody, latex fixation, and serum and urine electrophoresis.

Genetic trees are constructed using detailed family history data; blood and urine samples
are routinely collected from relatives. Family members of patients with familial
amyloidotic polyneuropathy type II (Indiana type) undergo a flexor retinaculum biopsy of the
wrist.
