Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Congenital plasminogen deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized clinically by chronic muscosal pseudomembranous lesions consisting of subepithelial fibrin deposition and inflammation. The most common clinical manifestation is ligneous ('wood-like') conjunctivitis, a redness and subsequent formation of ...
Clinical Description OMIM Bateman et al. (1986) reported a brother and sister with ligneous conjunctivitis. The authors found reports of 9 other sets of affected sibs, suggesting autosomal recessive inheritance, although no parental consanguinity was observed. In 1 of the patients ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In 2 unrelated Turkish girls with plasminogen deficiency, Schuster et al. (1997) identified 2 different homozygous mutations in the PLG gene (173350.0004; 173350.0005).

In 2 sibs with plasminogen deficiency originally reported by Bateman et al. (1986), ...
