Abstract excerpt
The amount of residual F8 (FVIII:C) determines the clinical severity of hemophilia A. Recently, we showed that the mutation detection rate in severely affected male patients (FVIII:C<1% of normal) is virtually 100% when testing for the common intron 22-/intron 1- inversions and big deletions, followed by genomic sequencing of the F8 gene. Here we report on the spectrum of mutations and their distribution...
