ABSTRACT
Familial amyloid polyneuropathy (PN), also known as amyloid transthyretin (TTR)-PN is an autosomal dominant adult-onset fatal disease, if not treated. It occurs due to mutations in (TTR) gene which leads to a faulty TTR protein which folds up to form amyloid and gets deposited mainly on nerves and causes length-dependent PN and autonomic dysfunction. We report a case of a 45-year-old female who presented with symptoms of painful peripheral neuropathy for 5 months, a history of deafness for 5 years, and cardiac pacemaker implantation 2 years ago for complete heart block. She denied any symptoms of autonomic dysfunction. Her brother with similar symptoms died of cardiac arrest at the age of 50 years. Clinical examination was suggestive of symmetrical sensorimotor PN. The nerve conduction study was suggestive of axonal sensorimotor PN. Abdominal fat biopsy was negative for amyloid. Sural nerve biopsy was suggestive of amyloid neuropathy. Genetic analysis showed c. 165G > T mutation encoding amino acid p. Lys55Asn on exon-4 of TTR gene. This mutation has not been reported from India.
Résumé La polyneuropathie amyloïde familiale (NP), également connue sous le nom de transthyrétine amyloïde (TTR) -PN, est une maladie mortelle autosomique dominante de l'adulte, si elle n'est pas traitée. Il se produit en raison de mutations du gène (TTR) qui conduisent à une protéine TTR défectueuse qui se replie pour former de l'amyloïde et se dépose principalement sur les nerfs et provoque une PN dépendante de la longueur et un dysfonctionnement autonome. Nous rapportons le cas d'une femme de 45 ans qui présentait des symptômes de neuropathie périphérique douloureuse depuis 5 mois, des antécédents de surdité depuis 5 ans et l'implantation d'un stimulateur cardiaque il y a 2 ans pour un bloc cardiaque complet. Elle a nié tout symptôme de dysfonctionnement autonome. Son frère présentant des symptômes similaires est décédé d'un arrêt cardiaque à l'âge de 50 ans. L'examen clinique évoquait une NP sensorimotrice symétrique. L'étude de la conduction nerveuse était évocatrice d'une NP sensorimotrice axonale. La biopsie de la graisse abdominale était négative pour l'amyloïde. La biopsie du nerf sural était évocatrice d'une neuropathie amyloïde. L'analyse génétique a montré c. Mutation 165G > T codant pour l'acide aminé p. Lys55Asn sur l'exon-4 du gène TTR. Cette mutation n'a pas été signalée en Inde. Mots clés Neuropathie amyloïde familiale, tests génétiques, biopsie nerveuse, amylose à transthyrétine.
