[Molecular genetic study of the factor VIII gene in families from Bashkir with hemophilia A].
The distribution of hemophilia A was studied in Bashkortostan. The factor VIII gene of the blood coagulation system was analyzed in 34 patients with hemophilia A and 48 of their close relatives. Inversion of intron 22 of the factor VIII gene was revealed in nine cases, which comprised 30% of the total sample analyzed. The type II and type III of this mutation occurred at a relatively high frequency, which may be explained by the founder effect and genetic drift. The allelic frequencies of the polymorphic locus HindIII at intron 19 were similar; a substantial allelic heterogeneity of both microsatellite (CA)-repeats at intron 13 and the DXS52 locus were found on normal and mutant X chromosomes. The molecular genetic analysis of (CA)-repeats and the loci HindIII and DXS52 in families with hemophilia A makes it possible to reveal up to 89% of the informative families.
