    Abstract

    We characterized the mutation associated with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy in a Japanese patient. Sequence analysis of polymerase chain reaction-amplified exons of the transthyretin gene revealed a novel point mutation resulting in a substitution of arginine for glycine at position 47. The mutation was confirmed using allele-specific olgonucleotide hybridization procedures. This most likely represents a de novo mutation since neither parent carries the mutant allele.
