Abstract excerpt
Patients with mild haemophilia A may have a discrepancy in the factor VIII (FVIII) level when measured with a one-stage assay (FVIII:C1) compared with a two-stage assay (FVIII:C2). This discrepancy usually results in the one-stage level being higher than the two-stage level. A F8 mutation resulting in a Tyr346-->Cys substitution within the a1 interdomain region has been described which results in the converse...
