Dysfibrinogenemia-associated novel heterozygous mutation, Shanghai (FGA c.169_180+2 del), leads to N-terminal truncation of fibrinogen Aα chain and impairs fibrin polymerization.

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: A novel heterozygous variant, FGA c.169_180+2 del (designated fibrinogen Shanghai), was identified in a patient with dysfibrinogenemia with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) and recurrent venous thrombosis, and in his asymptomatic father. We aimed to reveal the functional implication of structural change caused by this variant. METHODS: Transcription analysis was performed with FGA minigene...
