Factor IX gene mutations causing haemophilia B: comparison of SSC screening versus systematic DNA sequencing and diagnostic applications.

Abstract excerpt

The search for mutations of the factor IX gene responsible for haemophilia B should nowadays be used routinely for the molecular diagnosis of this inherited disorder, i.e. carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis. A number of methodologies have been proposed, most of them being delicate or expensive. We have used a simple strategy based on a preliminary screening of eight factor IX gene fragments by single-strand...
