Abstract excerpt
In order to search for mutations resulting in hemophilia A that are not detectable by restriction analysis, three regions of the factor VIII gene were chosen for direct sequence analysis. Short segments of genomic DNA of 127 unrelated patients with hemophilia A were amplified by polymerase chain reaction. A total of 136,017 nucleotides were sequenced, and four mutations leading to the disease were found: a...
