Abstract
Background: AL amyloidosis (AL) results from the misfolding of immunoglobulin light chains (IG LCs). Aim of this study was to comprehensively analyse kappa LC sequences from AL patients in comparison with multiple myeloma (MM).
Objective: We analysed IGKV/IGKJ usage and associated organ tropism and IGKV1/D-33 in terms of mutational analysis and theoretical biochemical properties.
Material and methods: cDNA and bulk RNA sequencing of the LCs of AL and MM patients.
Results: We studied 41 AL and 83 MM patients showing that IGKV1 was most expressed among kappa AL and MM, with higher frequency in AL (80% vs. 53%, p = .002). IGKV3 was underrepresented in AL (10% vs. 30%, p = .014). IGKJ2 was more commonly used in AL than in MM (39% vs. 29%). Patients with IGKV1/D-33 were associated with heart involvement (75%, p = .024). IGKV1/D-33-segments of AL had a higher mutation count (AL = 12.0 vs. MM = 10.0). FR3 and CDR3 were most frequently mutated in both, with a median mutation count in FR3 being the highest (AL = 4.0; MM = 3.5) and one mutation hotspot (FR3 (83I)) for IGKV1/D-33/IGKJ2 was associated with cardiac involvement.
Conclusion: This study confirmed that germline usage has an influence on AL amyloidosis risk and organ involvement.
期刊介绍:
Amyloid: the Journal of Protein Folding Disorders is dedicated to the study of all aspects of the protein groups and associated disorders that are classified as the amyloidoses as well as other disorders associated with abnormal protein folding. The journals major focus points are:
etiology,
pathogenesis,
histopathology,
chemical structure,
nature of fibrillogenesis;
whilst also publishing papers on the basic and chemical genetic aspects of many of these disorders.
Amyloid is recognised as one of the leading publications on amyloid protein classifications and the associated disorders, as well as clinical studies on all aspects of amyloid related neurodegenerative diseases and major clinical studies on inherited amyloidosis, especially those related to transthyretin. The Journal also publishes book reviews, meeting reports, editorials, thesis abstracts, review articles and symposia in the various areas listed above.
