Abstract excerpt
The messenger RNA (mRNA) from 5 of 69 patients with severe hemophilia A did not support amplification of complementary DNA containing the first few exons of the factor VIII (F8) gene but supported amplification of mRNA containing exon 1 of F8 plus exons of the VBP1 gene. This chimeric mRNA signals an inversion breaking intron 1 of the F8 gene. Using an inversion patient, one deleted for F8 exons 1 to 6, and...
