Abstract excerpt
The interdomain acidic region a1 is a unique structural feature of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) and may mediate the proteolytic activation of FVIII and the inactivation of FVIIIa. We report an individual with a Tyr346-->Cys substitution within region a1, who presented with a one-stage FVIII activity (FVIII:C) of 0.34 iu/ml (normal range 0.5-2.0) but normal two-stage FVIII:C and FVIII antigen values. In a...
