Abstract：Objective To study the mutation types of factor VIII (FVIII) gene in patients from 7 hemophilia A (HA) families and the relationship between FVIII gene mutations and clinical phenotypes.Methods A total of 8 patients from 7 HA families were recruited. The activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and factor VIII coagulant activity (VIII:C) in these patients were measured. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to analyze FVIII gene intron 1 and 22 inversions. For patients without the FVIII intron inversions, direct sequencing was performed to determine their mutation types and other related members of their families were also tested by PCR and sequencing to analyze the corresponding mutation sites.Results The ranges of APTT and VIII:C of the 8 patients were 91.6-131 seconds and 0.8%-2%, respectively. FVIII gene intron 22 inversion was not detected, while intron 1 inversion was detected in one patient. There were 5 types of mutations in FVIII gene detected in the remaining 7 patients, including 6 patients with mutations in exon 14 and 1 patient with mutation in exon 23; all of the 5 types of mutations were single nucleotide mutations. Among the detected mutations in FVIII gene, p.His1202LeufsX16 (c.3666delA) detected in one patient was found to be a previously unreported mutation in FVIII gene.Conclusions FVIII gene exon 14 is a hot-spot mutation region and p.His1202LeufsX16 is found to be a novel mutation in FVIII gene.
