Summary  We have identified a γ-Arg–275 to His substitution in an abnormal fibrinogen designated as “fibrinogen Saga” characterized by impaired fibrin monomer polymerization. By chromatofocusing chromatography, we isolated normal and abnormal fragment Dl populations separately from the plasmic-calcium digests of fibrinogen derived from the propositus, a heterozygote for the abnormality. We found that both normal and abnormal fragment D1’s were similarly protected from digestion by plasmin in the presence of calcium ions and further degraded to fragments D2 and D3 due to cleavage of the γ-chain remnant when calcium ions were replaced by chelating agents. Abnormal fragment D1 failed to inhibit both thrombin-clotting of normal fibrinogen and polymerization of normal fibrin monomer, while normal D1 exhibited marked inhibitory activities. In an aberrant peptide comprising residues γ–274–302 isolated by HPLC from the lysyl endopeptidase-digests of abnormal fragment D1, we identified a His substituting for an Arg at position 2, which corresponds to position 275 of the mutant γ-chain
