Abstract excerpt
In genotyping a severe hemophilia B subject, exons 1-3 and 5-8 were normal. Exon 4 did not amplify, suggesting a partial gene deletion. Previously, a French family with an exon 4 deletion had severe haemophilia B with a circulating, dysfunctional factor IX protein missing its first growth factor-like domain; breakpoints were not analyzed. Using a 5' primer for exon 3 and a 3' primer for exon 5 fragments, the...
