Short summary
Proposed to cause severe hypofibrinogenemia in a recessive manner. Seen homozygously in one of three patients by Asselta et al 2002 (PMID: 12161363), and heterozygously in a single case reported by Asselta et al 2004 (PMID: 15070683).
Stop codon early in the gene, predicted to be extremely disruptive. Other variants in this gene cause this disease.
Seen in multiple cases
Impact
High clinical importance, Uncertain pathogenic
(The "high clinical importance, uncertain" qualifier is assigned automatically based on the above evidence and importance scores.)
Inheritance pattern
recessive
