ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the phenotype and genotype of a Chinese family with inherited hypofibrinogenemia,and to investigate its molecular mechanism.Methods Peripheral blood was collected from seven people of this family and then plasma was separated.Activated partial thromboplastin time ( APTT),prothrombin time ( PT),thrombin time ( TT),reptilase time ( RT),the activities of antithrombin( AT∶ A ),protein C ( PC ∶ A ) and protein S ( PS ∶ A ) were tested.The activity and antigen of plasma fibrinogen were analyzed by Clauss method and immunoturbidimetry method,respectively.The fibrinogen peptide chain of the proband was semiquantitatively assessed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE).Thrombin generation test was performed by calibrated automated thromhogram.The dynamic process of blood coagulation was evaluated by the thrombelastography (TEG).Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood.The sequences of all the exons and exon-intron boundaries of the three fibrinogen genes FGA,FGB and FGG were amplified by polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) and analyzed by direct sequen(c)ing.Results The activity and the antigen levels of the proband' s plasma fibrinogen were reduced to 0.48 g/L and 0.68 g/L,respectively.TT prolonged to 29.2 s and RT prolonged to 75.8 s.The assays of SDS-PAGE showed no abnormal molecular weight of fibrinogen.Peak height of thrombin generation was reduced to 249.93 nmol/L and endogenous thrombin potential was reduced to 1007.0 nmol · L-1 · min.Hypocoagulability state of the whole blood was found by TEG test.The coagulation index was - 8.6.The proband was diagnosed as inherited hypofibrinogenemia by phenotype analysis.Two mutations (Gln143Pro and g.4642delC) were found in the proband's fibrinogen Aa-chain gene,Gln143Pro came from her mother and g.4642delC came form her father.Conclusion Compound Heterozygous Mutations (Gln143Pro and g.4642delC ) of fibrinogen Aa-chain causes the proband congenital hypofibrinogenemia.
