Abstract

Single amino acid mutations in apolipoprotein E (apoE) have been associated with the development of the rare kidney disease lipoprotein glomerulopathy (LPG). Although the genetic linkage to disease development is well established, the mechanism of pathogenesis is largely unknown, limiting therapeutic insight. Here, we summarize current knowledge in the field and focus on the possible effects of LPG-associated mutations on the structure of apoE. Recent findings have suggested that mutation-induced folding perturbations in apoE lead to structural destabilization and aggregation, effects that may underlie lipoprotein thrombi accumulation in the glomerulus, a hallmark of LPG. The recognition that structural destabilization may underlie the association between apoE mutations and LPG can be key for development of new innovative treatments for this rare disease.
