Two cases of congenital dysfibrinogenemia associated with thrombosis – Fibrinogen Praha III and Fibrinogen Plzeň

Abstract: Congenital dysfibrinogenemia is a rare disease characterised by inherited abnormality in the fibrinogen molecule, resulting in functional defects. Two patients, a 26-year-old woman and a 61-year-old man, both with history of thrombotic events, had abnormal coagulation test results. DNA sequencing showed the heterozygous gamma Y363N mutation (Fibrinogen Praha III) and the heterozygous Aalpha N106D mutation (Fibrinogen Plzen), respectively. Fibrin polymerisation, after addition of either thrombin or reptilase, s… Show more

“…The paper by Kotlín et al (4) presents two new dysfibrinogenaemias, fibrinogen Praha III with a γY363N mutation and fibrinogen Plzen with an AαN106D mutation. Both patients presented with thrombotic problems, and both mutations have major effects on fibrin polymerisation, fibrinolysis, and platelet aggregation.…”

“…Other mutations in this region cause dysfibrinogenemia. For example, fibrinogen Plzen (Aα Asn106Asp) and Vizovice (Aα Phe98Ile) are characterized by low functional fibrinogen, 1.13 g/l and 1.66, but normal immunologic fibrinogen concentration 3.99 g/l and 2.89, respectively [ 23 , 24 ]. The normal fibrinogen antigenic concentration excludes that these abnormal fibrinogens have impaired secretion.…”

“…1). Samples for scanning electron microscopy were prepared by mixing plasma with thrombin (2 NIH U/ml final concentration) and were incubated for 3 h. They were dried by the CO 2 critical point method and sputter-coated with platinum [9]. Images were evaluated using ImageJ data analysis software.…”
