Definition / Description of Disease

Light Chain and Heavy Chain Deposition Disease is defined as follows[1][2][3][4]:

  • Systemic disorder with non-amyloid deposits of monoclonal immunoglobulin (Ig) in various organs
  • Underlying diseases are HAEM4:Plasma Cell Neoplasms (PCN, >95%) or lymphoplasmacytic neoplasms (2-3%)
  • 20-35% have non-smoldering HAEM5:Plasma cell myeloma / multiple myeloma (PCM), and rest (65-75%) have smoldering plasma cell myeloma or Monoclonal Gammopathy of Uncertain Significance (MGUS)/monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS)

Synonyms / Terminology

  • Randall type monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition disease
  • Light chain deposition disease (LCDD)
  • heavy chain deposition disease (HCDD)
  • light and heavy chain deposition disease (LHCDD)

Epidemiology / Prevalence

The following epidemiologic features have been observed[5][6][7][8]:

  • Vary rare
  • Median age: 56-58 years (range: 20-91)
  • 60% are men
  • No ethnic difference
  • Deposited Ig can be light chain (LCDD, ~80%), heavy chain (HCDD, ~10%), or both (LHCDD, ~10%)

Clinical Features

Signs and Symptoms EXAMPLE: Asymptomatic (incidental finding on complete blood counts)

EXAMPLE: B-symptoms (weight loss, fever, night sweats)

EXAMPLE: Fatigue

EXAMPLE: Lymphadenopathy (uncommon)

Laboratory Findings EXAMPLE: Cytopenias

EXAMPLE: Lymphocytosis (low level)


editv4:Clinical Features
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.

The following clinical and laboratory findings may be seen[5][6][7][8][9][10]:

Signs & Symptoms

  • Organ dysfunction resulting from systemic Ig deposition
  • Renal dysfunction (renal insufficiency, proteinuria, hematuria, and hypertension) in almost all cases
  • Renal failure eventually without treatment
  • Extrarenal symptoms (10-35%) from IG deposition in heart, liver, peripheral nerves, lung, skin, blood vessels, and occasionally joints
  • Diastolic heart failure and atrial arrhythmias if heart involved
  • Hepatomegaly, portal hypertension and liver failure if liver involved
  • Cough, oxygen desaturation and dyspnea if lung involved
  • Peripheral and autonomic neuropathy if nerve involved

Laboratory findings

  • Abnormal serum free light chain ratio in almost all cases
  • M-protein detected on SPEP in majority (70-85%) cases
  • IgG followed by light chain, IgA and IgM, as the most common monoclonal Ig detected in serum
  • The tissue immunoglobulin deposits can differ from the monoclonal Ig in serum
  • Hypocomplementemia in HCDD, due to complement fixation by IgG3 and IgG1 subclasses
  • Septal thickening on echocardiogram if heart involved
  • Elevated liver function test results if liver involved

Sites of Involvement

The following anatomic sites of involvement have been reported[6][7][8][9]:

  • Kidney is nearly always involved
  • Extrarenal organs (heart, liver, peripheral nerves, lung, skin, and blood vessels) involve in 10-35% cases
  • Extrarenal involvement is more common in LCDD with PCM
  • Basement membranes and elastic and collagen fibers are the prominent deposition sites

Morphologic Features

  • Most cases are associated with PCM or MGUS[5], and rarely with HAEM5:Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, or HAEM5:Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma
  • The smooth, ribbon-like linear Ig deposits consist of Congo red-negative amorphous eosinophilic material that is non-amyloid and non-fibrillary
  • Deposition of Ig is mostly found on renal biopsies but can be observed in bone marrow and other tissues
  • The renal biopsy typically (in 2/3 of cases) shows nodular sclerosing glomerulonephritis
  • Ig predominantly deposits along tubular basement membranes (TBM) and glomerular basement membranes (GBM) under kidney immunofluorescence stain[6]

Immunophenotype

Positive (subset) EXAMPLE: CD2

editv4:Immunophenotype
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.

Findings are similar to those of the underlying condition (e.g., Plasma Cell Neoplasm, HAEM5:Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma). Additional findings may include the following[6][8]:

  • The plasma cells in bone marrow may exhibit an aberrant kappa/lambda ratio
  • Kappa light chains, especially VκIV variable region, are overrepresented (68-80%) in LCDD
  • Gamma chains are most common in HCDD
  • Deletion of the CH1 constant domain leads to premature secretion and tissue deposition of heavy chain in HCDD
  • Somatic mutations of the variable regions of light chain or heavy chain increase the hydrophobicity and hence the propensity for tissue deposition of Ig

Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions)

  • There is limited information on the genomic abnormalities of the plasma cells in light chain and heavy chain deposition disease
  • Patients with PCM presumably have similar genomic abnormalities to myelomas without Ig deposition, perhaps with a different prevalence

Please incorporate this section into the relevant tables found in:
  • Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions)
  • Individual Region Genomic Gain/Loss/LOH
  • Characteristic Chromosomal Patterns
  • Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

Testing methods include those needed to diagnose the underlying condition, as well as those specifically needed to detect the offending Ig in liquid samples and tissues. The following methods of testing have been reported[5][6][7][8][9]:

  • Diagnosis relies on detection of monoclonal Ig deposition in tissues biopsy; fine needle aspiration is not enough for diagnosis
  • Because kidney is almost always affected, detecting linear Ig deposits predominantly along TBM and GBM under immunofluorescence (IF) and/or electron microscopy studies of the kidney biopsy is diagnostic
  • Diagnosis in other tissues relies more on immunohistochemistry, as electron microscopy is rarely used
  • Serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP), urine protein electrophoresis (UPEP), immunofixation, and serum free light-chain (SFLC), should be performed to identify the monoclonal Ig; abnormal rates are 64% by SPEP, 68% UPEP, and 99–100% by SFLC
  • Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy should be routinely performed to identify the lymphoproliferative clone
  • Chromosome analysis and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) were performed only for a small portion of cases historically but are helpful for clonal identification

Familial Forms

  • N/A

Additional Information

  • Survival improves with early diagnosis and proteasome inhibitor (PI)-based treatment, autologous stem cell transplantation, and kidney transplantation[10][14]
  • Poor prognosis markers include old age, the presence of PCM, extrarenal (especially cardiac) involvement, poor response to initial treatment[7][15]
  • Elimination or reduction of the underlying B-cell proliferative neoplasms to control the aberrant Ig deposition is crucial for preventing disease progression[14][10]
  • Kidney transplantation has a very high recurrence rate without controlling the monoclonal gammopathy[16]
