Haemophilia A and B are X-linked disorders which are due to a reduced activity of coagulation factor VIII or IX, respectively. Female carriers have a wide range of plasma concentration of factor VIII or factor IX, and may in rare cases have an affected phenotype. In order to investigate if this variation is related to X chromosome inactivation, we determined the X inactivation pattern in 31 haemophilia A and 15...
