The mutations causing hemophilia A are very heterogeneous with the exception of a large inversion involving intron 22 in the factor VIII (FVIII) gene which appears to be the underlying defect in approximately 45% of all severely affected patients (FVIII < or = 1%). In these patients it is thought that the factor VIII gene is disrupted within intron 22 due to inappropriate recombination of FVIIIA with one of 2...
