A 6-year-old male with vertebral-basilar artery thrombosis was recognized to have high molecular weight kininogen (HK) deficiency. The propositus had no HK procoagulant activity and antigen (< 1 %). Using monoclonal antibodies (Mabs)to domain 3 of kininogen, the propositus, family members and Fitzgerald plasma have detectable low molecular weight kininogen. Mabs to domains 5 and 6 of HK do not detect HK antigen in the plasma of the propositus. The propositus has a single base pair deletion in cDNA position 1492 of exon 10 affecting amino acid 480 of the mature protein and resulting in a frameshift and a premature stop codon at position 1597 (amino acid 532). Unexpectedly, Mabs to the heavy chain and domain 5 of HK detect a 92 kDa form of HK in Fitzgerald plasma, the first HK deficient plasma. The 92 kDa Fitzgerald HK has amino acid residues through 502, corresponding to domains 1 through 5, but lacks epitopes of domain 6 (positions 543 to 595). Fitzgerald DNA has a normal exon 10, but a 17 basepair mutation in intron 9. These combined results indicate that mutations in the kininogen gene may differentially affect biosynthesis, processing, and/or secretion of HK.
