Congenital fibrinogen disorders encompass a heterogeneous group of inherited conditions affecting either the quantity or quality of fibrinogen, a critical glycoprotein in the coagulation cascade.

Under homeostatic conditions, the body is maintained in a finely tuned balance of coagulation and fibrinolysis. See Figure 1 for a depiction of normal hemostasis. The activation of the coagulation ...

Evidence has linked fibrinogen to increased amyloid plaque deposition around the brain’s vasculature, a poorly understood condition termed cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). Now, scientists led by ...
