  • Title: A case of afibrinogenemia associated with A-alpha chain gene compound heterozygosity (HUMFIBRA c.[4110delA]+[3200+1G>T]).

    Abstract:
    The clinical features and molecular biology data of a case of afibrinogenemia are reported. The propositus is a 14-year-old girl who suffered several bleeding manifestations that were successfully treated with fibrinogen infusion. The afibrinogenemia results from compound heterozygosity for two mutations on the Aalpha chain gene (c.[4110delA]+[3200+1G>T]). The first mutation is a novel frameshift mutation inherited from her father. The second is a previously described Aalpha chain gene splice junction mutation inherited from her mother. Neither of the parents fulfills the criteria for hypofibrinogenemia.
