Structural highlights
DiseaseFIBG_HUMAN Defects in FGG are a cause of congenital afibrinogenemia (CAFBN) [MIM:202400. This rare autosomal recessive disorder is characterized by bleeding that varies from mild to severe and by complete absence or extremely low levels of plasma and platelet fibrinogen. Note=Patients with congenital fibrinogen abnormalities can manifest different clinical pictures. Some cases are clinically silent, some show a tendency toward bleeding and some show a predisposition for thrombosis with or without bleeding. FunctionFIBG_HUMAN Fibrinogen has a double function: yielding monomers that polymerize into fibrin and acting as a cofactor in platelet aggregation. Contents | ||||||||||||||||||||
