ABSTRACT: Introduction
There is an unmet need to understand the mechanisms by which amyloid deposition drives alterations in the kidney. We leveraged renal biopsies from amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis participants of the Renal AL Amyloid Involvement and NEOD00 (RAIN) trial (NCT03168906) to perform transcriptional profiling and to employ a novel histologic scoring tool. Our objective was to utilize a transcriptome-driven approach to identify AL molecular signatures that may be prognostic.Methods
Clinical data were correlated to histologic and molecular findings. A composite scarring injury and amyloid score (AS) were assigned to each biopsy. Glomerular and tubulointerstitial (TI) compartments were microdissected and sequenced separately. Expression data were compared to healthy
