Abstract:
We report the case of a 22-year-old Caucasian woman presenting with a new-onset nephrotic syndrome with normal renal function during the 35th week of pregnancy. AA (secondary) amyloidosis was further diagnosed at the renal biopsy. Extensive genetic testing revealed that the patient was heterozygous for both TNFRSF1A p.R92Q and MEFV p.M694I mutations leading to an autoinflammatory syndrome characterized by amyloid deposition as the sole manifestation.
