Abstract

The amplification of Factor VIII gene-specific sequences, obtained by polymerase chain reaction, was used for hemophilia A carrier detection. Exon 24 sequences were employed in the carrier status determination of a missense mutation causing severe hemophilia A in two unrelated patients. After agarose gel electrophoresis, the digested DNA was subjected to quantitative determination of fluorescence. This technique significantly improves the digest analysis.
