Abstract excerpt
Congenital afibrinogenemia (CAF) is a rare coagulation disorder characterized by very low or unmeasurable levels of functional and immunoreactive fibrinogen in plasma, associated with a hemorrhagic phenotype of variable severity. It is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait (prevalence 1:1,000,000) and is invariantly associated with mutations affecting one of the three fibrinogen genes (FGA, FGB, and FGG,...
