Machine learning analyses of antibody somatic mutations predict immunoglobulin light chain toxicity

Systemic light chain amyloidosis (AL) is caused by the production of toxic light chains and can be fatal, yet effective treatments are often not possible due to delayed diagnosis. Here the authors show that a machine learning platform analyzing light chain somatic mutations allows the prediction of...
