Abstract excerpt
We describe 18 novel mutations, unreported in the Haemophilia A mutation Databases, that have been identified in a cohort of unrelated, Italian patients affected with haemophilia A (HA). Screening of the factor VIII gene (FVIII) was performed using denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) and direct sequencing. Eight mutations were characterized as non-missense alterations, and the remaining 10...
