Haemophilia A (HA) is an X-linked recessive haemorrhagic disorder caused by a deficiency of coagulation factor VIII. Disease causative mutations are heterogeneous and spread all over the F8 gene sequence, with the exception of intron 22 inversion occurring in about 50% of severe patients. To define the specific mutational repertoire and mutation detection rate, we analysed F8 gene, by polymerase chain reaction...
