Abstrakt: This article discusses a rare inherited blood coagulation disorder called fibrinogen storage disease (FSD). FSD is a subtype of hypofibrinogenemia, characterized by the accumulation and aggregation of mutant fibrinogen in hepatocytes. The article presents a case study of a large family from Quebec with a novel FGG missense variant associated with FSD. The clinical manifestations observed in affected family members include bleeding symptoms and thrombotic symptoms, with some individuals experiencing post-partum hemorrhage, epistaxis, and superficial vein thrombosis. The study also suggests incomplete penetrance of the FGG variant in some family members. [Extracted from the article]
