Abstract excerpt
Despite marked genetic heterogeneity in families with hemophilic patients, transition mutations in CG dinucleotides occur frequently. Of 71 CG dinucleotides in the factor VIII cDNA, a C-to-T transition in 12 would lead to a new Stop codon (CGA to TGA). Using restriction enzyme digestion of 11 amplified DNA fragments, seven point mutations were localized among 60 patients with severe hemophilia A. Five were...
