Abstract excerpt
The genetic basis of factor XI (FXI) deficiency was investigated in 30 patients from 13 different families of non-Jewish origin. Twelve different mutations were detected (including six novel changes), seven missense mutations and three mutations leading to null alleles. Haplotype analysis suggested a large gene deletion in one family. We confirmed the presence of a recently reported Alu-mediated FXI gene...
