Acquired dysfibrinogenemia caused by monoclonal production of immunoglobulin λ light chain
Disorders of fibrinogen are usually caused by genetic mutations that result in low protein levels (hypofibrinogenemia) or an abnormal molecule (dysfibrinogenemia). However, environmental and plasma factors can have an acquired effect on its expression or

Fibrinogen post-translational modifications are biochemical determinants of fibrin clot properties and interactions. [PDF]
The biochemical and biophysical properties of fibrinogen and fibrin, which is formed during coagulation, are critical for proper hemostatic function. The formation of abnormal fibrin clots has been linked to a prothrombotic phenotype and disease states.

Analysis of polymorphisms Leiden Factor V G1691A and prothrombin G20210A as risk factors for acute myocardial infarction. [PDF]
Thrombotic risk increases in elderly, therefore, the understanding of the genetic predisposition of hypercoagulability could make the difference in the prevention of venous and/or arterial thrombotic events.

Evolutionary Signatures amongst Disease Genes Permit Novel Methods for Gene Prioritization and Construction of Informative Gene-Based Networks [PDF]
Genes involved in the same function tend to have similar evolutionary histories, in that their rates of evolution covary over time. This coevolutionary signature, termed Evolutionary Rate Covariation (ERC), is calculated using only gene sequences from a ...

Case Report: Unmasked Inherited Dysfibrinogenemia After Everolimus Therapy
A previously hemostatically asymptomatic patient with common variable hypogammaglobulinemia was given everolimus to prevent growth of her liver. Within several months, the patient developed a severe bleeding disorder.

GeneTIER: prioritization of candidate disease genes using tissue-specific gene expression profiles. [PDF]
Motivation In attempts to determine the genetic causes of human disease, researchers are often faced with a large number of candidate genes. Linkage studies can point to a genomic region containing hundreds of genes, while the high-throughput sequencing ...
