Mashup Score: 9Cardiac Amyloidosis in Older Adults With a Focus on Frailty: JACC: Advances Expert Consensus - PubMed - 2 month(s) ago
Amyloidosis, which is caused by misfolded proteins that form amyloid fibrils, is predominantly diagnosed in older adults. Although previously considered a rare disease, increased awareness and noninvasive diagnostic methods have resulted in a rise in diagnoses. As a multisystem disease that affects …

Mashup Score: 8An updated AL-base reveals ranked enrichment of immunoglobulin light chain variable genes in AL amyloidosis - PubMed - 7 month(s) ago
Rarely-observed light chain variable genes may carry a high risk of AL amyloidosis. New approaches are needed to define sequence-associated risk factors for AL amyloidosis. AL-Base is a foundational resource for such studies.

Mashup Score: 3
We observed favorable OS and EFS after AHSCT for SSc patients, using CY200/ATG, unmanipulated PBSC and MMF post-transplant maintenance, that was comparable to trials with CD34+ graft selection. We identified a possible risk factor, pretransplant low eGFR, for adverse outcome after AHSCT.

Mashup Score: 9Predicting Structural Consequences of Antibody Light Chain N-Glycosylation in AL Amyloidosis - 7 month(s) ago
Background/Objectives: Antibody light chains form amyloid fibrils that lead to progressive tissue damage in amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis. The properties of each patient’s unique light chain appear to determine its propensity to form amyloid. One factor is N-glycosylation, which is more frequent in amyloid-associated light chains than in light chains from the normal immune repertoire. However, the mechanisms underlying this association are unknown. Here, we investigate the frequency and position within the light chain sequence of the N-glycosylation sequence motif, or sequon. Methods: Monoclonal light chains from AL amyloidosis and multiple myeloma were identified from the AL-Base repository. Polyclonal light chains were obtained from the Observed Antibody Space resource. We compared the fraction of light chains from each group harboring an N-glycosylation sequon, and the positions of these sequons within the sequences. Results: Sequons are enriched among AL-associated light cha
