Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In a small group of typical hemophilia A (HA) patients no mutations in the F8 coding sequence (cDNA) could be found. In the current study, we performed a systematic screening of genetic and non-genetic parameters associated with reduced FVIII:C levels in a group of mostly mild HA (only one moderate) patients with no detectable mutations in F8 cDNA. METHODS: We determined FVIII and VWF activity and...
