Heterozygous factor XI deficiency occurs very frequently among Ashkenazi Jews. To investigate the potential influence of a co-inherited factor XI deficiency state on the clinical phenotype of mild/moderate haemophilia A, 28 unrelated haemophiliacs of Jewish origin were screened for the two most common factor XI gene mutations. Gene lesions were identified in two out of 14 patients of Ashkenazi origin. In the one family analysed further, co-inheritance of both factor XI and factor VIII deficiencies was associated with a bleeding tendency that was more severe than that associated with either deficiency alone.

D015252 Deoxyribonucleases, Type II Site-Specific Enzyme systems containing a single subunit and requiring only magnesium for endonucleolytic activity. The corresponding modification methylases are separate enzymes. The systems recognize specific short DNA sequences and cleave either within, or at a short specific distance from, the recognition sequence to give specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. Enzymes from different microorganisms with the same specificity are called isoschizomers. EC 3.1.21.4.

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
