A new tandem repeat in bovine fibrinogen Aalpha gene

Animal Biotechnology

Abstract

In this study, we describe intraspecies variation in the alphaC connector region of the bovine fibrinogen Aalpha gene. Sequencing and genotyping of six bovine breeds revealed 7 to 10 tandem repeats in the alphaC connector region. In addition, we observed length differences between B. indicus and B. taurus, with the B. indicus having longer fibrinogen alphaC connectors (10-repeat alleles) than B. taurus (7- and 9-repeats). The difference in tandem repeats may be related to the function of blood coagulation system.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
