Hemophilia A (HA) is an X-linked hereditary bleeding disorder defined by a qualitative and/or quantitative factor VIII (FVIII) deficiency. The molecular diagnosis of HA is challenging because of the high number of different causative mutations that are distributed throughout the large F8 gene. The putative role of the novel mutations, especially missense mutations, may be difficult to interpret as causing HA. We...
