Characterisation of 96 mutations in 128 unrelated severe haemophilia A patients from France. Description of 62 novel mutations.

Abstract excerpt

Direct sequencing of the coding region of factor VIII (F8) gene was used to determine the mutations responsible for severe haemophilia A (FVIII<1%) in 128 unrelated haemophiliacs A, negative for intron 22 and intron 1 inversions. A mutation was found in 122/128 patients (95%). Ninety-six distinct mutations were identified in this cohort, 62 of these are novel. They consisted of deletions (7 large and 24 small...
