Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Intrachromosomal homologous recombination between inverted repeats on the X chromosome account for about half of severe hemophilia A cases. Repeats in F8 intron 1 and intron 22 can recombine with homologous inverted repeats located about 200 kb upstream and 500 kb downstream of F8, respectively, resulting in partial sequence inversion of the F8 open reading frame and, subsequently, no functional...
