Abstract excerpt
Coagulation factor XIII, a transglutaminase which stabilises blood clots by covalently cross-linking fibrin, is essential for normal haemostasis. FXIII deficiency results in a life-long bleeding disorder with added complications in wound healing and tissue repair. Sequence changes in the human FXIIIA gene, largely missense mutations, are primarily responsible for inherited FXIII deficiency. We have carried out...
