What are the major forms of amyloidosis?

Answer 1

The major forms of amyloidosis include primary amyloidosis (AL), secondary amyloidosis (AA), and hereditary amyloidosis (ATTR). AL amyloidosis is caused by the abnormal production of immunoglobulin light chains, AA amyloidosis is caused by chronic inflammation leading to the deposition of serum amyloid A protein, and ATTR amyloidosis is caused by mutations in the transthyretin gene. Each form of amyloidosis has distinct clinical manifestations and treatment approaches.
