Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the fibrinogen gamma chain (FGG) gene have been associated with various disorders, such as dysfibrinogenemia, thrombophilia, and hypofibrinogenemia. A literature survey showed that a residue exchange in fibrinogen Milano I from γ Asp to Val at position 330 impairs fibrin polymerization. The D356V (D330V) mutation located in the C-terminus was predicted to be highly deleterious and to affect the...
