Abstract
Objective: Our study aimed to analyze the phenotype and genotype of a pedigree with inherited dysfibrinogenemia, and preliminarily elucidate the probable pathogenesis.
Methods: The one-stage clotting method was used to test the fibrinogen activity (FIB:C), whereas immunoturbidimetry was performed to quantify the fibrinogen antigen (FIB:Ag). Furthermore, DNA sequence analysis was conducted to confirm the site of mutation. Conservation analysis and protein model analysis were performed using online bioinformatics software.
Results: The FIB:C and FIB:Ag of the proband were 1.28 and 2.20 g/L, respectively. Gene analysis revealed a heterozygous c.293C > A (p.BβAla68Asp) mutation in FGB. Bioinformatics and modeling analysis suggested that the missense mutation could potentially have a deleterious effect on fibrinogen.
Conclusion: The BβAla68Asp mutation in exon 2 of FGB may account for the reduced FIB:C levels observed in the pedigree. To our knowledge, this point mutation is the first report in the world.
期刊介绍:
Hämostaseologie is an interdisciplinary specialist journal on the complex topics of haemorrhages and thromboembolism and is aimed not only at haematologists, but also at a wide range of specialists from clinic and practice. The readership consequently includes both specialists for internal medicine as well as for surgical diseases.
