Abstract excerpt
This article reviews recent progress made in understanding the molecular basis of congenital afibrinogenemia, an autosomal recessive coagulation disorder characterized by the complete absence of detectable fibrinogen. We have identified the first causative mutations for this disorder in a non-consanguineous Swiss family; these were homozygous deletions of approximately 11 kb of the fibrinogen alpha chain (FGA)...
