Abstract excerpt
Several genes that modify risk of factor VIII (FVIII) inhibitors in haemophilia A patients have been identified. Aside from the underlying mutations that cause haemophilia A, inhibitor risk appears to be modified by polymorphisms in various cytokines and immunomodulators including IL10, TNFα and CTLA4. HLA haplotypes have not been strong determinants of inhibitor risk. We sought to confirm previous observations...
