Two IgM paraproteins bearing cryoglobulin and anti-smooth muscle activities in a patient with Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia.

Abstract:

:A 52-year-old white male subject with typical clinical and laboratory findings of Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia is described. Two paraprotein peaks of IgM lambda class, with different physical and chemical properties and different amino acid compositions, in both heavy and light chains, were found in the patient's serum. One of the IgM components (M1) was a cryoglobulin, and the other (M2) showed strong antismooth muscle activity. As far as we know, this is the first report of double paraproteins each of which has different properties.

  • Should children or young adults be screened for serum lipid levels to prevent adult coronary heart disease? Experience from the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns study.

    abstract::Coronary heart disease (CHD) has its origin in childhood. High cholesterol levels measured in children and adolescents are indicative of concurrent atherosclerotic changes and probably predict adult coronary heart disease. We review here the relevance of screening children, adolescents or young adults for serum lipid ...
