Disease-relevant β2-microglobulin variants share a common amyloid fold

The authors use cryo-EM to determine amyloid fibrils structures of disease relevant variants of β2-microglobulin in vitro. Each variant is polymorphic, but all polymorphs from all samples are built from a a lego-like assembly of common building blocks, suggesting a one amyloid fold’ paradigm.
