title: Hereditary dysfibrinogenaemia (fibrinogen Jena)--report of a family study.
abstract: A qualitative abnormality of fibrinogen was found in a boy aged 3 years and 6 months. It was recognized by prolonged prothrombin-, thrombin- and reptilase clotting times. There was also a difference between the results of different fibrinogen assays. The same constellation was identified in additional 7 members of the family belonging to 3 generations. No bleeding or thrombotic symptoms exist. The mode of inheritance of the fibrinogen variant (fibrinogen Jena) seems to be autosomal-dominant.
