    A Novel Mutation in the Fibrinogen Bβ Chain (c.490G>A; End of Exon 3) Causes a Splicing Abnormality and Ultimately Leads to Congenital Hypofibrinogenemia

    We found a novel heterozygous mutation in the fibrinogen Bβ chain (c.490G>A) of a 3-year-old girl with congenital hypofibrinogenemia. To clarify the complex genetic mechanism, we made a mini-gene including a FGB c.490G>A mutation region, transfected it into a Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell line, and analyzed reverse transcription (RT) products. The assembly process and secretion were examined using recombinant mutant fibrinogen. Direct sequencing demonstrated that the mutant RT product was 99 bp longer than the wild-type product, and an extra 99 bases were derived from intron 3. In recombinant expression, a mutant Bβ-chain was weakly detected in the transfected CHO cell line, and aberrant fibrinogen was secreted into culture media; however, an aberrant Bβ-chain was not detected in plasma. Since the aberrant Bβ-chain was catabolized faster in cells, the aberrant Bβ-chain in a small amount of secreted fibrinogen may catabolize in the bloodstream. FGB c.490G>A indicated the activation of a cryptic splice site causing the insertion of 99 bp in intron 3. This splicing abnormality led to the production of a Bβ-chain possessing 33 aberrant amino acids, including two Cys residues in the coiled-coil domain. Therefore, a splicing abnormality may cause impaired fibrinogen assembly and secretion.ArticleINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR SCIENCES.18:2470(2017)journal articl

    Hereditary Fibrinogen Aα-Chain Amyloidosis in Asia: Clinical and Molecular Characteristics

    No full text
    Hereditary fibrinogen Aα-chain amyloidosis (Aα-chain amyloidosis) is a type of autosomal dominant systemic amyloidosis caused by mutations in fibrinogen Aα-chain gene (FGA). Patients with Aα-chain amyloidosis have been mainly reported in Western countries but have been rarely reported in Asia, with only five patients with Aα-chain amyloidosis being reported in Korea, China, and Japan. Clinically, the most prominent manifestation in Asian patients with Aα-chain amyloidosis is progressive nephropathy caused by excessive amyloid deposition in the glomeruli, which is similar to that observed in patients with Aα-chain amyloidosis in Western countries. In molecular features in Asian Aα-chain amyloidosis, the most common variant, E526V, was found in only one Chinese kindred, and other four kindred each had a different variant, which have not been identified in other countries. These variants are located in the C-terminal region (amino acid residues 517–555) of mature Aα-chain, which was similar to that observed in patients with Aα-chain amyloidosis in other countries. The precise number of Asian patients with Aα-chain amyloidosis is unclear. However, patients with Aα-chain amyloidosis do exist in Asian countries, and the majority of these patients may be diagnosed with other types of systemic amyloidosis.ArticleINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR SCIENCES.19:320(2018)journal articl
