Unbalanced X-chromosome inactivation with a novel FVIII gene mutation resulting in severe hemophilia A in a female

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The severe hemophilia A in the proposita results from a de novo F8 gene frameshift-stop mutation on the paternally derived X chromosome, associated with a nonrandom pattern of inactivation of the maternallyderived X chromosome.

Anderson-Fabry disease: Clinical manifestations of disease in female heterozygotes

TL;DR: It appears that Anderson–Fabry disease affects both hemizygotes and heterozyotes and therefore should be considered to be an X-linked dominant disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Severe and moderate haemophilia A and B in US females.

TL;DR: The genetics, clinical phenotype and quality of life issues in female patients with severe/moderate haemophilia are elucidated and novel mechanistic questions are raised about the relationship between XIP and both age and tissue‐specific FVIII and FIX expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular mechanisms underlying hemophilia A phenotype in seven females

TL;DR: The HA phenotype results from a heterozygous small deletion affecting the F8 gene and a complete inactivation of the maternal X chromosome, which segregates with Coffin–Lowry syndrome in the two brothers of the proposita.
Journal ArticleDOI

Haemophilia A : molecular insights

TL;DR: Haemophilia A is the most common inherited bleeding disorder caused by defects in the F8C gene that encodes coagulation factor VIII, and molecular diagnosis of carrier status and prenatal diagnosis in families without intron 22 or 1 inversions is based on scanning techniques or gene sequencing.

Mutation spectrum of 122 hemophilia A families from Taiwanese population by LD-PCR, DHPLC, multiplex PCR and evaluating the clinical application of HRM

TL;DR: A new mutation scanning technique, high resolution melting analysis (HRM), is considered as a powerful screening tool that would provide a more cost-effective protocol for hemophilia A mutation identification.

Methylation of HpaII and HhaI sites near the polymorphic CAG repeat in the human androgen-receptor gene correlates with X chromosome inactivation.

TL;DR: The human androgen-receptor gene (HUMARA) contains a highly polymorphic trinucleotide repeat in the first exon that correlates with X inactivation, and the development of a PCR assay that distinguishes between the maternal and paternal alleles and identifies their methylation status is developed.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inversions disrupting the factor VIII gene are a common cause of severe haemophilia A.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented to support a model based on the possibility of recombination between homologous sequences located in intron 22 and upstream of the factor VIII gene that leads to an inversion of all intervening DNA and a disruption of the gene.

A promoter mutation in the XIST gene in two unrelated families with skewed X-chromosome inactivation.

TL;DR: A rare cytosine to guanine mutation in the XIST minimal promoter that underlies both epigenetic and functional differences between the two X chromosomes in nine females from two unrelated families is reported, suggesting that there is an association between alterations in the regulation of XIST expression and X-chromosome inactivation.
