"[These limited data suggest that: (a) derivation of their amyloids from prealbumin is the biochemical common denominator of lower limb familial amyloidotic neuropathies regardless of the ethnic derivation of the afflicted; (b) to the extent that ethnic diversity reflects genetic heterogeneity, this will be demonstrable in the amyloid (and hopefully in the plasma) of the afflicted as entity-specific variant prealbumin monomers distinguished by different single amino acid substitutions; (c) on clinical and biochemical grounds, lower limb familial amyloidotic neuropathies include at least three genetic entities.].
