Abstract excerpt
A woman with menorrhagia was investigated for a suspected fibrinogen mutation when coagulation tests revealed prolonged thrombin (55 s) and reptilase (43 s) times together with a functional and an antigenic fibrinogen concentration of 0.7 and 2.8 mg/ml respectively. Heterozygosity for a gamma-chain mutation was suggested by a doublet gamma band on SDS-PAGE and an increased negative charge was observed on...
