In four abnormal fibrinogens with a point mutation in the gamma chain, all characterized by impaired fibrin polymerization, we identified single base exchanges in the respective mutant gamma chain genes by polymerase chain reaction followed by DNA sequence analysis. These base exchanges accounted for the amino acid substitutions previously reported from our laboratory. They were exchanges of C to T (CGC for gamma Arg-275 to TGC for Cys) in fibrinogen Osaka II, T to G (AAT for gamma Asn-308 to AAG for Lys) in fibrinogen Kyoto I, T to C (ATG for gamma Met-310 to ACG for Thr) in fibrinogen Asahi, and G to T (GAT for gamma Asp-330 to TAT for Tyr) in fibrinogen Kyoto III. These base exchanges were found to reside in exon VIII of the gamma chain gene. Since many abnormal molecules are associated with polymerization defects, unless associated with the impaired release of fibrinopeptides A and/or B, exon VIII of the gamma chain gene may deserve careful study to define the structural alterations.
