Definition ...
Hereditary amyloidosis: A familial (inherited) disorder in which protein deposits (amyloid) accumulate in one or more organ systems in the body.
Hereditary amyloidosis is a condition in which abnormal protein deposits (called amyloid) form in almost every tissue in the body. These protein deposits damage the tissues and interfere with the function of the involved organs.

Hereditary amyloidosis. Hereditary amyloidosis occurs in families. It may cause peripheral sensory and motor neuropathy (problems with the central nervous system), carpal tunnel syndrome, and eye abnormalities.
Hereditary amyloidosis. As the name implies, this form of amyloidosis is inherited. This type often affects the nervous and digestive systems.

Hereditary amyloidosis results from genetic changes that cause the body to make abnormal proteins. Age seems to play a role in amyloidosis -- researchers think the disease may be triggered by damage that builds up in the body as we get older.
There are several abnormal genes that can cause hereditary amyloidosis, but the most common type of hereditary amyloidosis is called ATTR and caused by mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene.

Hereditary amyloidosis is a rare type of amyloidosis that is caused by an abnormal gene.
Hereditary amyloidosis is a relatively uncommon cause of amyloidosis. The more common forms of amyloidosis are primary an secondary amyloidosis. However, hereditary amyloidosis is found worldwide.
Hereditary amyloidosis also exists: the ATTR, AApoAI, Afib and ALys forms may commonly affect the kidney. Dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA), on the other hand, is a result of long term dialysis treatment.
