Prolonged α-thrombin-related activation and delayed active protein C-associated degradation confer mild phenotype in a patient with severe hemophilia A with F8 p.H118R.

Abstract excerpt

In hemophilia A, bleeding mostly correlates with factor VIII activity (FVIII:C), although some patients show discrepancy in bleeding severity and FVIII:C. We report a novel procoagulant mechanism associated with F8 p.H118R (c.353A > G) in a young Japanese man with few bleeding episodes despite low levels of FVIII:C (< 1 IU/dL). Plasma FVIII:C was < 1 IU/dL measured by one-stage clotting assay (OSA) and...
