Background: Analbuminemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder manifested by the absence, or severe reduction, of circulating serum albumin.

Methods: Total DNA, extracted from peripheral blood samples from six members of the family, was PCR-amplified using oligonucleotide primers designed to amplify the 14 exons of the human albumin gene and the flanking intron regions.
