Factor VIII gene inversions in severe hemophilia A: results of an international consortium study

TLDR
The presence of factor VII inversions is not a major predisposing factor for the development of factor VIII inhibitors; however, slightly more patients with severe hemophilia A and factor VIII inversions develop inhibitors than patients without inversions.

The origins, patterns and implications of human spontaneous mutation

TL;DR: It is suggested that quasi-truncation selection is the principal explanation for how the population can rid itself of a large number of mutations with a relatively low fitness cost.

The high spontaneous mutation rate: Is it a health risk?

TL;DR: The most reasonable way in which a species can cope with a high mutation rate is by quasi-truncation selection, whereby a number of mutant genes are eliminated by one "genetic death."

Recurrent inversion breaking intron 1 of the factor VIII gene is a frequent cause of severe hemophilia A.

TL;DR: 10 inversions are identified, affecting F8 genes with 5 different haplotypes for the BclI, introns 13 and 22 VNTR polymorphism, among 209 unrelated families with severe hemophilia A, demonstrating that they cause inversions by intrachromosome or intrACHromatid homologous recombination.

Cross-reactive immunologic material status affects treatment outcomes in Pompe disease infants.

TL;DR: The effect of CRIM status on outcome appears to be mediated by antibody responses to the exogenous protein, which predicted reduced overall survival and invasive ventilator-free survival and poorer clinical outcomes in infants with Pompe disease treated with rhGAA.

Characterization of the human factor VIII gene

TL;DR: The complete 186,000 base-pair (bp) human factor VIII gene has been isolated and consists of 26 exons ranging in size from 69 to 3,106 bp and introns as large as 32.4 kilobases as mentioned in this paper.

Characteristic mRNA abnormality found in half the patients with severe haemophilia A is due to large DNA inversions

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the mutations in the patients are inversions of long DNA regions possibly involving the repeated sequences and occurring at the surprising rate of approximately 4 x 10(-6) per gene per gamete per generation.

A transcribed gene in an intron of the human factor VIII gene.

TL;DR: Northern blot analysis of RNA isolated from hemophilia patients deleted for factor VIII sequences has shown that both the intron gene and at least one other copy of the gene are transcribed.
