We report the first case of congenital analbuminemia attributable to compound heterozygosity for 2 new mutations in the HSA gene. We also demonstrated that circulating leukocytes may be used to investigate the effects of analbuminemia-causing mutations on mRNA processing, making it possible to reevaluate all analbuminemic patients in whom molecular characterization of the HSA gene was carried out only at the genomic level
