Abstract excerpt
About 10% of mutations in haemophilia A cases generate a premature termination codon in the factor VIII gene (F8). Upon therapeutic FVIII substitution, it was noted that the risk of developing inhibitors is higher when the nonsense mutation is located in the light chain (LC) of the factor VIII (FVIII) protein than in the heavy chain (HC). We analysed the impact of six different nonsense mutations distributed over...
