Irrespective of the nucleotide position of the FGA deletion/insertion anomalies, all frameshifts truncate at codon 548 and generate similar mutant C-terminal sequences. In the third column of the table are shown the predicted C-terminal portions of frameshifts: in bold are the portions that differ in 4/5 residues between frameshifts and in nonbold is the common 15-amino-acid sequence shared by all frameshifts: ASSQIQRNPVLITLG contains the VLITL motif (underlined). All amyloidogenic Aα-chain frameshift variants are listed according to the 2 nomenclatures. To convert the conventional mature protein amino acid numbering to the HGVS nomenclature, add 19 nucleotides for Aα-chain changes.
