Abstract excerpt
Direct sequencing of segments of the factor VIII gene in 30 hemophiliacs with sporadic disease (32+ kb of sequence in total) revealed two missense transitions: glutamate 1704 to lysine (E1704----K) in a patient with severe hemophilia A and proline 2300 to serine (P2300----S) in a patient with mild hemophilia. Both transitions are likely to be causative mutations because the amino acids affected were...
