Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hemophilia A (HA) is an inherited X-linked recessive coagulation disorder caused by factor VIII (F8) deficiency. F8 rearrangements involving intron 22 (int22) and intron 1 (int1) account for almost half of severe HA phenotype also a hotspot exon 14 provides numerous mutational patterns. This study aims to identify F8 gene mutations among Egyptian HA patients. METHODS: DNA samples from 60 HA patients...
