IntroductionWe identified a patient with a novel heterozygous variant fibrinogen, γp.C352R (Niigata II; N-II), who had a bleeding episode and failed infertility treatment and was suspected to have hypodysfibrinogenemia based on low and discordant fibrinogen levels (functional assay 0.33 g/L, immunological assay 0.91 g/L). We analyzed the mechanism of this rare phenotype of a congenital fibrinogen disorder.Materials and methodsPatient plasma fibrinogen was purified and protein characterization and thrombin-catalyzed fibrin polymerization performed. Recombinant fibrinogen-producing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were established and the assembly and secretion of variant fibrinogen analyzed by ELISA and western blotting.ResultsPurified N-II plasma fibrinogen had a small lower molecular weight band below the normal γ-chain and slightly reduced fibrin polymerization. A limited proportion of p.C352R fibrinogen was secreted into the culture medium of established CHO cell lines, but the γ-chain of p.C352R was synthesized and variant fibrinogen was assembled inside the cells.ConclusionWe demonstrated that fibrinogen N-II, γp.C352R was associated with markedly reduced secretion of variant fibrinogen from CHO cells, that fibrin polymerization of purified plasma fibrinogen was only slightly affected, and that fibrinogen N-II produces hypodysfibrinogenemia in plasma.
