Abstract

Obligate carriers of haemophilia A and normal women matched for age were studied in order to find a suitable parameter for detection of carriers of haemophilia A. The ratio of factor VIII coagulant activities (F VIIIC) to factor VIII related antigen (F VIII R : Ag) was 0.55 in obligate carriers and 1.0 in non-carrier females.
