Abstract excerpt
The molecular basis of hypofibrinogenaemia was investigated in a 34-year-old woman and her 10-year-old daughter. DNA sequencing revealed a single heterozygous GCC-->GTC transition in exon 8 of the fibrinogen gamma ?gene in both subjects, predicting a novel gamma289 Ala-->Val substitution. Examination of fibrinogen gamma ?chains by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry failed to detect the variant chain in...
