For the first time, a correlation between a specific fibrinogen abnormality and the clinical symptoms of thrombosis has been found in unrelated families. These abnormal fibrinogens have been designated Dusart and Chapel Hill III. The abnormal fibrinogen Chapel Hill III was identified previously in a patient with thrombotic disease. We purified fibrinogen from small aliquots of patient and normal plasmas by a...
