Genes affected

FGA (HGNC:3661): (fibrinogen alpha chain) This gene encodes the alpha subunit of the coagulation factor fibrinogen, which is a component of the blood clot. Following vascular injury, the encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed by thrombin during the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin. Mutations in this gene lead to several disorders, including dysfibrinogenemia, hypofibrinogenemia, afibrinogenemia and renal amyloidosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes an isoform that undergoes proteolytic processing. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Genetics and Molecular Pathology, SA Pathology	Aug 29, 2022	The FGA c.104G>A variant is classified as Pathogenic (PS1, PS4, PM1, PM2) The FGA c.104G>A variant is a single nucleotide change in exon 2/6 of the FGA gene, which is predicted to change the amino acid arginine at position 35 in the protein to histidine. The variant has been reported in probands with a clinical presentation of MIM: 616004 (PS4). The variant is rare in population databases (gnomAD allele frequency = 0.0013%; 2 het and 0 hom in 152172 sequenced alleles; highest frequency = 0.0024%, African/African American population) (PM2). Detected in 7x patients with disease in PMID 31064749. This variant is located in a conserved region (PM1). (PMID:34275736) This variant results in the same amino acid change as a previously established variant (PS1). The variant has been reported in dbSNP (rs121909607) and has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic by other diagnostic laboratories (ClinVar Variation ID: 16404). It has not been reported in HGMD. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Johns Hopkins Genomics, Johns Hopkins University	Jul 11, 2022	This FGA missense variant has been identified in the heterozygous state in multiple individuals with congenital dysfibrinogenemia, and is also reported in individuals with FGA-related congenital fibrinogen defects due to biallelic variants. This variant (rs121909607) is rare (<0.1%) in a large population dataset (gnomAD v2.1.1: 4/282670 total alleles; 0.0014%; no homozygotes). It has been reported in ClinVar7 (Variation ID 16404). Three bioinformatic tools queried predict that this substitution would be damaging, and the arginine residue at this position is evolutionarily conserved across all species assessed. Functional studies support that this missense change impacts protein function. We consider c.104G>A in FGA to be pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Apr 08, 2022	Variant summary: FGA c.104G>A (p.Arg35His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251286 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.104G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Congenital Dysfibrinogenemia (e.g. Simurda_2020, Szanto_2021, Zhou_2021), including at least one homozygote (Alving_1987). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Three ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: one classified the variant as likely pathogenic, and two as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Mar 17, 2025	Published functional studies suggest a damaging effect: impaired thrombin polymerization, reduced fibrinogen clottability, reduced fibrinolysis velocity, and delayed release of fibrinopeptide A (PMID: 6830702, 22967385, 22880226); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Also known as R16H using alternate nomenclature; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32877852, 33822462, 33443927, 34275736, 32939696, 23962069, 22880226, 22967385, 6830702, 27684817, 6191801, 2738154, 9391726, 25320241, 26577257, 29070135, 29869737, 30856382, 31314131, 30332696, 32166693, 30349899, 2379562, 35949040, 35975558, 31064749, 3618591, 34455742, 7298640, 22169505) -

The FGA c.104G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg35His. This variant, also referred to as p.Arg16His using legacy nomenclature, has been reported in many patients to be causative for autosomal dominant congenital dysfibrinogenemia (Casini et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25320241; Siebenlist et al. 1988. PubMed ID: 3345340; Smith et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30349899; Shapiro et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23061815). Other missense variants affecting this amino acid (p.Arg35Cys, p.Arg35Ser, p.Arg35Pro) have also been reported in patients with dysfibrinogenemia, suggesting p.Arg35 is important for proper FGA protein function (Miesbach et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 19923982; Shapiro et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23061815). This variant is reported in 0.0031% of alleles in individuals of European (non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
