Sixty probable carriers of haemophilia from 25 families were studied by using coagulation phenotype and DNA analysis: 33 with haemophilia A and 27 with haemophilia B. Coagulation phenotype was based on factor VIII/IX assay and DNA analysis on the examination of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) within and closely linked to factor VIII or IX: 3 RFLP for factor VIII and 3 for factor IX. The comparison between the coagulation phenotype and RFLP analysis showed the misclassification of 15 females (6 for haemophilia A and 9 for haemophilia B). Four prenatal haemophilia A diagnosis were made by DNA analysis of chorionic villi, taken with a transcervical trophoblastic biopsy, between the 18th and the 11th week.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment. RFLP,Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism,RFLPs,Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms
D004303 Dosage Compensation, Genetic Genetic mechanisms that allow GENES to be expressed at a similar level irrespective of their GENE DOSAGE. This term is usually used in discussing genes that lie on the SEX CHROMOSOMES. Because the sex chromosomes are only partially homologous, there is a different copy number, i.e., dosage, of these genes in males vs. females. In DROSOPHILA, dosage compensation is accomplished by hypertranscription of genes located on the X CHROMOSOME. In mammals, dosage compensation of X chromosome genes is accomplished by random X CHROMOSOME INACTIVATION of one of the two X chromosomes in the female.

D005164 Factor IX Storage-stable blood coagulation factor acting in the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. Its activated form, IXa, forms a complex with factor VIII and calcium on platelet factor 3 to activate factor X to Xa. Deficiency of factor IX results in HEMOPHILIA B (Christmas Disease).

D005169 Factor VIII Factor VIII of blood coagulation. Antihemophilic factor that is part of the factor VIII/von Willebrand factor complex. Factor VIII is produced in the liver and acts in the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. It serves as a cofactor in factor X activation and this action is markedly enhanced by small amounts of thrombin.
