We report the molecular characterisation of two novel cases of inherited hypofibrinogenemia. After sequencing all coding regions and intron-exon boundaries of the three fibrinogen genes (FGA, FGB, and FGG), two different novel mutations were found, one homozygous and one heterozygous. The first patient, with a mild bleeding history and mild discrepancy between functional and immunological fibrinogen, showed a...
