Abstract excerpt
We identified two novel mutations in an asymptomatic 25-year-old Japanese patient with severe factor XI deficiency. Direct sequencing analysis of PCR products from his factor XI gene revealed a G to T transversion in exon 12, resulting in the nonsense mutation (Glu447Stop) and a G insertion in five consecutive guanine nucleotides ((501)Trp(TGG)-(502)Gly(GGG)) in exon 13 that is expected to lead to the...
