Abstract excerpt
The distal Xq28 region is very gene-rich, comprising a relatively large number of low-copy repeats (LCRs) predisposing to genomic rearrangements. The best-known rearrangement at this locus is the F8 intron 22 inversion, responsible for up to 45% of severe hemophilia A (HA) cases. An additional inversion of intron 1 of F8 has more recently been described, affecting 2%-5% of patients with severe HA. These...
