Inversions of the factor VIII gene in Swedish patients with severe haemophilia A

Ljung, R. LU orcid and Sjörin, Elsy LU (1995) In European Journal of Haematology 54(5). p.310-313
Abstract

The series comprised 49 Swedish patients with severe haemophilia G [belonging to 49 families (21 with known and 28 with sporadic haemophilia)l, of whom 12 had developed F.VIII inhibitors. Using Southern blotting, 45% (22/49) were found to have inversions, i.e., intrachromosomal rearrangements of the tip of the X chromosome. Twenty patients had one or the other of the two variants of inversions recently published, whereas 2 patients manifested novel band patterns. Inversions were found in 50% of the families with sporadic haemophilia, and in 38% of those with known haemophilia. Fourteen families with sporadic haemophilia A had inversions, the proband carrying the de novo mutation in 4 cases and the proband's mother in 10 cases. Six... (More)

The series comprised 49 Swedish patients with severe haemophilia G [belonging to 49 families (21 with known and 28 with sporadic haemophilia)l, of whom 12 had developed F.VIII inhibitors. Using Southern blotting, 45% (22/49) were found to have inversions, i.e., intrachromosomal rearrangements of the tip of the X chromosome. Twenty patients had one or the other of the two variants of inversions recently published, whereas 2 patients manifested novel band patterns. Inversions were found in 50% of the families with sporadic haemophilia, and in 38% of those with known haemophilia. Fourteen families with sporadic haemophilia A had inversions, the proband carrying the de novo mutation in 4 cases and the proband's mother in 10 cases. Six inversions derived from a male and five from a female X-chromosome meiosis, the origin of the remaining three was not established. Genetic counselling of patients with severe haemophilia A and their families will be considerably improved, as inversions occur in half the severe cases and can be detected by a simple Southern blotting procedure.
