From 46 families of predominantly German origin, afflicted with haemophilia A, 178 females were tested for carrier status. Two polymorphic restriction endonuclease sites, the extragenic marker locus DXS 52 (St 14 probe) and the intragenic Bcl I RFLP were investigated in these families. In some cases the results were corroborated by identifying (i) deletions within the factor VIII:C gene and (ii) eliminating a restriction endonuclease site. Two new alleles of the DXS 52 marker locus were found. According to this strategy, 27 women were classified as carriers and 74 as non-carriers. Forty-six women were classified as carriers according to pedigree analysis. Twenty-five females of families with sporadic cases and 6 test persons, who had mothers who where homozygous for the marker alleles, were diagnosed by additional use of conventional carrier detection.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

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.
