Fibrinogen is an essential component of the coagulation cascade and the acute phase response. The native 340 kDa molecule has a symmetrical trinodular structure composed of a central E-domain connected to outer D-domains by triple helical coiled-coils.1 Several mutations known to cause hypofibrinogenemia occur within the C-terminal gammaD-domain and have helped to elucidate the structurally and functionally important areas of this domain.2-5 Here we report the identification of a novel point mutation gammaG200V (fibrinogen Columbus) causing hypofibrinogenemia and co-segregating with three genetic thrombophilia risk factors.
