Congenital analbuminemia associated with compound heterozygous novel nucleotide variations in a young adult with coronary thrombosis.

Congenital analbuminemia (CAA) is a very rare genetic disorder characterized by a significant reduced or even complete absence of human serum albumin. Our data describe the clinical features and laboratory results of a case confirmed by mutation analysis of the albumin gene in a 35-year-old man presenting recurrent acute coronary syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, only two cases of coronary artery disease have been reported worldwide without recurrence.
