Characterization of a partial deletion of the factor VIII gene in a haemophiliac with inhibitor
Abstract
Genomic DNA from 49 Italian patients affected with severe haemophilia A was analysed by Southern blotting technique using a cDNA probe corresponding to exons 14-26 of coagulation factor VIII. No TaqI site mutation was observed in this sample. A partial deletion, eliminating exons 15-18 and spanning about 13kb, was identified and characterized in one patient with anti-factor VIII antibodies.
