Abstract: A 48yearold woman presented with moderate proteinuria and hypertension.A renal biopsy at local hospital indicated amyloidosis.The subcutaneous fat aspirate and rectum mucosa biopsy in our hospital also showed amyloid deposits.However,the immunoglobulin light chains,amyloid A,leukocyte cellderived chemotaxin 2、lysozyme、amyloid precursor protein、transthyretin and β2microglobulin staining were all negative in the rectum mucosa.Furthermore,genetic sequencing reveled the gelsolin mutation (c640G>A) in the patient and her father,and futher sequencing of other family members showed autosomal dominant inheritance.Antigelsolin staining was positive in rectum mucosa,and the final diagnosed was gelsolin amyloidosis (AGel amyloidosis).
