Unbalanced X-chromosome inactivation with a novel FVIII gene mutation resulting in severe hemophilia A in a female
15 Dec 2000
Abstract excerpt
This report is of a 14-month-old girl affected with severe hemophilia A. Both her parents had normal values for factor VIII activity, and von Willebrand disease type 2N was excluded. Karyotype analysis demonstrated no obvious alteration, and BclI Southern blot did not reveal F8 gene inversions. Direct sequencing of F8 gene exons revealed a frameshift-stop mutation (Q565delC/ter566) in the heterozygous state in...
