Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The exchange of Aalpha 16, Arg for Cys or His is the most common molecular defect in dysfibrinogenemia directly affecting the thrombin cleavage site involved in fibrinopeptide A (FPA) release. Other amino acid exchanges within the fibrinopeptide A have been only rarely reported. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In clinically asymptomatic dysfibrinogenemic patients with low functional plasma fibrinogen (Fg)...
