INTRODUCTION: The genetic variant responsible for haemophilia A (HA) significantly impacts endogenous coagulant factor VIII (FVIII:C) level, thus impacting DDAVP responsiveness. Blood group (BG) also impacts FVIII:C levels, but this is difficult to evaluate in a genetically heterogeneous population. Canada has a large cohort of mild-moderate HA due to a single point variant: c.6104T>C, p.Val2035Ala-the...
