Abstract excerpt
Most small lesions in the factor VIII (FVIII) gene that cause haemophilia A (HA) are single nucleotide substitutions resulting in amino acid replacing (missense) mutations and leading to various phenotypes, ranging from mild to severe. We took a combined approach of homology modelling and quantitative evaluation of evolutionary significance of amino acid replacing alterations using the Grantham Matrix Score (GMS)...
