title: Carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis by intron 22 inversion analysis of the factor VIII gene.
abstract: In approximately 50% of severe haemophilia A patients the mutation is present in the form of a large chromosomal disruption in the factor VIII gene; this disruption is described as an inversion. It results in the physical breakage and separation of exons 1-2 and exons 23-26 of the factor VIII gene.
