The spectrum of mutations in Southern Spanish patients with hemophilia A and identification of 28 novel mutations

Haematologica. 2005 May;90(5):707-10.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the mutation pattern causing hemophilia A in a population from Southern Spain. Mutation analysis identified the mutation in 99 of the 109 unrelated patients enrolled in the Hemophilia Registry from Andalusia. About 54% of non-inversion mutations identified were previously unreported.
