Factor VIII-Intron 1 Inversion of Hemophilia A Patients In West Anatolia

Hemophilia A (HA) is a hereditary, life-threatening and disabling disorder. In this study, we have examined 61 unrelated HA patients in order to identify the incidence of the intron 1 factor VIII (FVIII) gene inversion in the West Anatolian population. According to the results of DNA analyses of the 61 HA patients, no intron 1 inversion of the FVIII gene was found.
