A domain mutations in 65 haemophilia A families and molecular modelling of dysfunctional factor VIII proteins

Abstract: Summary.A variety of mutations are found in haemophilia A families. Those with circulating, dysfunctional protein can provide insights into structural determinants of factor VIII function. A molecular model based upon the crystal structure of the homologous A domains in caeruloplasmin enables predictions of molecular consequences of mutations. To identify haemophilic mutations in coding regions for three A domains of factor VIII and predict amino acid substitutions important for coagulant cofactor function, am… Show more

“…Subsequent sequencing of the F8 gene revealed hemizygosity for the point mutation c.6089G>A (p.S2030N), which has been associated with mild haemophilia A (http://hadb.org.uk/). 35 The identification of this mutation explains the patient's mild haemophilic phenotype. An additional investigation included a karyotype, fragile X DNA testing, CPK level assay and thyroid function tests, all of which were normal.…”

“…Another possible mutation hot-spot could be the 7A-stretch in exon 18, codons 1967-1968, since deletions or insertion of A at this position have been described in couple of unrelated patients [Becker et al, 1996;Pieneman et al, 1995;Liu et al, 1998;present study]. From crystal structures and studies in solution, it is generally known for A-tracts in DNA that they develop distinctive B' structure, essentially straight and more rigid than the generic Bform DNA (McConnell and Beveridge, 2001;MacDonald et al, 2000).…”
