Abstract
A new point mutation due to C .fwdarw. T transition at codon 189 (TCA) of the factor VIII:C gene was found in a Chinese patient with moderately severe hemophilia A. This mutation abolishes the EcoRI site (GAATTC) in exon 4 and can be directly detected by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of amplified genomic DNA.
