Abstract excerpt
Factor XIII deficiency has been classified into two categories: type I deficiency, characterized by the lack of both the a and b subunits; and type II deficiency, characterized by the lack of the a subunit alone. To clarify the genetic bases of these diseases, previously reported cases of the typ...
