Screening of mutations of hemophilia A in 40 Italian patients: a novel G-to-A mutation in intron 10 of the F8 gene as a putative cause of mild hemophilia A in southern Italy.

Abstract excerpt

Hemophilia A is an X-linked bleeding disorder caused by widespread mutations in the human coagulation factor 8 gene. We have searched for mutations in factor 8 gene DNAs from 40 unrelated Italian patients with hemophilia A. All patients came from the same region (Calabria) and were followed-up at the same hemophilia center. Of the 40 patients, 20 (50%) had severe hemophilia A, 19 (47.5%) had moderate hemophilia...
