Description

The FGA, FGB and FGG genes encode the 3 distinct protein subunits of fibrinogen, which has a well-established role in formation of the fibrin matrix of blood clots after proteolysis by factor IIa. Mutations resulting in fibrinogen disorders can be either quantitative (afibrinogenemia or hypofibrinogenemia) or functional (dysfibrinogenemia), and can affect any of the 3 subunits. Clinical severity can be highly variable, manifested as bleeding of the CNS GI, GU, skin, or umbilical cord neonatally. Not surprisingly, those with the lowest levels (below 0.5 g/L) are associated with more severe bleeding. Those with dysfibrinogenemia can have either bleeding or thromboembolic complications.
