Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We aimed to elucidate a hereditary mutation of coagulation factor XII (FXII) in a consanguineous Chinese family. METHODS: Mutations were investigated using Sanger and whole-exome sequencing. FXII (FXII:C) activity and FXII antigen (FXII:Ag) were assessed using clotting assays and ELISA, respectively. Gene variants were annotated and the likelihood that amino acid mutations would affect...
