Abstract

To explore a scheme of using PCR analysis in the detection of carriers of Hind III polymorphism of factor VIII gene of hemophilia A. Implicating intron 19 of the factor VIII gene of 6 patients with the hemophilia A and 207 unrelated X-chromosomes were amplified by PCR and were analysed by means of Amp-RFLPs of Hind III. The incidence of the polymorphic Hind III sites in the given population was found to be 0.29. The frequence of the Hind III heterozygotes in women calculated according to Hardy-Weinberg equation was 0.41, which proved to be informative enough for carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis of hemophilia A. 2 out of 6 families (33%)examined in this study were informative. The new scheme proved to be effective for hemophilia A carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
