Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fibrinogen plays pivotal roles in multiple biological processes. Genetic mutation of the fibrinogen coding genes can result in congenital fibrinogen disorders (CFDs). We identified a novel heterozygous missense mutation, FGG c.1168G > T (NCBI NM_000509.6), and conducted expression studies and functional analyses to explore the influence on fibrinogen synthesis, secretion, and polymerization. METHODS:...
