چکیده

Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2)-related amyloidosis (ALECT2) constitutes a subtype of systemic amyloidosis affecting the kidney. This is the first case describing mixed ALECT2 and Amyloid A renal amyloidosis in a Kazakh-German patient. Genetic analysis shows a polymorphism in the LECT2 gene and a homozygous mutation in the SAA1 gene. Notably, our patient has a body mass index of 61 kg/m2 and a pathological glucose tolerance test. ALECT2 was found in certain ethnic groups with a high incidence of diabetes. In our case, morbid obesity may have played a significant role in clinical manifestation of ALECT2 amyloidosis.

Brief Report CLINICAL TRIALS AND OBSERVATIONS Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2)–associated amyloidosis is a frequent cause of hepatic amyloidosis in the United States

• Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin-2–associated amyloidosis (ALect2) is a common cause of systemic amyloidosis involving the liver. • Recognition and accurate diagnosis of hepatic ALect2 amyloidosis is essential for accurate management of patients with hepatic amyloidosis. Using laser microdissection and mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics, we subtyped amyloid deposits from 130 cases of he...

Leukocyte Cell-Derived Chemotaxin 2-Associated Renal Amyloidosis: A Case Report

Amyloidosis is a disorder characterized by the deposition of abnormal protein fibrils in tissues. Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2-associated amyloidosis is a recently recognized entity and is characterized by a distinctive clinicopathologic type of amyloid deposition manifested in adults by varying degrees of impaired kidney function and proteinuria. There are only a limited number of cases...

Laser microdissection and mass spectrometry–based proteomics aids the diagnosis and typing of renal amyloidosis

Accurate diagnosis and typing of renal amyloidosis is critical for prognosis, genetic counseling, and treatment. Laser microdissection and mass spectrometry are emerging techniques for the analysis and diagnosis of many renal diseases. Here we present the results of laser microdissection and mass spectrometry performed on 127 cases of renal amyloidosis during 2008-2010. We found the following p...

Leukocyte Derived Chemotaxin 2 (ALECT2) Amyloidosis

We describe the first case from India of ALECT2 amyloidosis. An adult Punjabi male presented with progressive renal dysfunction and non-nephrotic range proteinuria. Serum protein electrophoresis and immunofixation were normal, with mildly elevated serum free light chain ratio. A renal biopsy confirmed the presence of amyloid. Immunohistochemistry was negative for monoclonal light chains. Proteo...

INTRODUCTION Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin-2 (LECT2) is a highly conserved protein with roles in cell development, sepsis, liver disease, metabolic syndrome, arthritis, cancer, and amyloidosis, among others. We will review its genetics, structure, role in physiology, and its future as a biomarker and therapeutic target across many diseases. Studies involving LECT2 were identified using PubM...
