Tree Number(s): C10.668.829.050; C18.452.845.500.050
Unique ID: D017772
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D017772
Annotation: coord IM with specific neurol dis (IM) or specific nerve (IM); /‌genet: consider also AMYLOID NEUROPATHIES, FAMILIAL
Scope Note: Disorders of the peripheral nervous system associated with the deposition of AMYLOID in nerve tissue. Familial, primary (nonfamilial), and secondary forms have been described. Some familial subtypes demonstrate an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Clinical manifestations include sensory loss, mild weakness, autonomic dysfunction, and CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME.
