The fibrinopeptides A and B of the gibbon (an Asian ape) have been characterized and their relation to other primate types examined. An allelic situation was discovered at location B-3; two of the gibbons studied had both glycine and serine at that position, whereas four others were homozygous for glycine.

A patient referred for preoperative investigation of prolonged bleeding and easy bruising was found to have increased thrombin and reptilase times; however, the thrombin catalysed release of fibrinopeptides A and B was normal. Analysis of five other family members, spanning three generations, indicated that three had a similar defect and suggested autosomal dominant inheritance. Non-reducing SDS-PAGE of purified fibrinogen from affected individuals showed that the 340 kD form of their fibrinogen ran as a doublet.
