The X-linked bleeding disorder hemophilia A is caused by mutations in the coagulation factor VIII gene. A high frequency of de novo mutations and the large size of this gene complicate the molecular diagnostic of hemophilia A. Characterization of mutations, however, may help identify amino acids or regions with essential functional or structural properties and thereby clarify the mechanism of pathogenesis. In the...
