Hemophilic factor VIII C1- and C2-domain missense mutations and their modeling to the 1.5-angstrom human C2-domain crystal structure
1 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
Factor VIII C domains contain key binding sites for von Willebrand factor (vWF) and phospholipid membranes. Hemophilic patients were screened for factor VIII C-domain mutations to provide a well-characterized series. Mutated residues were localized to the high-resolution C2 structure and to a homology model of C1. Of 30 families found with mutations in the C domains, there were 14 missense changes, and 9 of these...
