New insight into the molecular basis of hemophilia A by El Maarri, Osman

“…In a small number of cases, however, we are unable to find any disease-determining DNA changes in the coding regions of the F8 gene. This fact points to possibilities of unknown gene rearrangements that disrupt the F8 gene or mutations in other genes that play a role in the processing/secretion of the factor VIII protein. …”
