This study reviews lysozyme amyloidosis, a rare genetic disease (about 50 cases reported worldwide) where lysozyme protein misfolds and accumulates in organs, causing serious damage to the kidneys, liver, skin, and digestive system. There's no cure—treatment is mainly managing symptoms, though organ transplants can help. Important note: this research is about a disease caused by lysozyme, not lysozyme as a skincare ingredient.

This is a medical literature review and case analysis examining the clinical presentations, diagnosis methods, and genetic mutations of lysozyme amyloidosis published by French researchers.
