Abstract

Analysis of mRNA in two haemophilic monozygotic twins offers novel information on the organisation of expressed sequences distal to the coagulation factor VIII gene. These patients show an inversion that, in contrast to the common inversions responsible for 1/5 of all haemophilia A, affects the first rather than intron 22 of the gene. This displaces the most telomeric of the factor VIII exons (exon 1) by approximately 100 kb towards the telomere, and close to the region of the C6.1A gene. This novel inversion creates two hybrid transcription units: one formed by the promoter and first exon of the factor VIII gene followed by a widely expressed sequence; the other by the promoter and coding region of the C6.1A gene plus most of the factor VIII gene (part of intron 1 and exons 2-26). Investigation of this transcription unit reveals that the C6.1A gene has an unsuspected intron in the region coding for the previously described 3'-untranslated tail of the message. Furthermore, exons located beyond the known C6.1A sequence and present in normal transcripts precede exons 2-26 of the factor VIII gene in the hybrid mRNA of the haemophilic twins. The factor VIII sequences in this hybrid mRNA are not expected to be expressed because they...Continue Reading

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.
