Abstract
The large deletion encompasses 48 protein-coding genes including the three fibrinogen-encoding genes I FGA i , I FGB i and I FGG i as well as candidate genes for neurodevelopmental disorders: I TDO2, GRIA2, GLRB, NPY1R, NPY5R i (Figure 1). A preoperative coagulation assay had identified a low fibrinogen level of.7 g/L (Clauss method) but the surgery was not complicated by any significant bleeding even in the absence of fibrinogen substitution. Fibrinogen is involved in numerous physiological processes, most notably the formation of a stable blood clot. [Extracted from the article]
