Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Among F8 mutation types, main determinants of inhibitor development after replacement therapy in Hemophilia A (HA), nonsense mutations display wide variation in the associated risk. Translational readthrough (Rdthr) at premature termination codons (PTCs) produces traces of full-length factor VIII (FVIII) including missense and wild-type molecules (WT Rdthr), and may influence the immune response...
