Prevalence, male germ-line origin and new patterns of inversions in haemophilia A.

Following the discovery of the FVIII gene inversion by Lakich et al. [1] and Naylor et al. [2], we have investigated this mutation in 108 French and Algerian severe haemophilia A patients. We have found that only 29 severe haemophiliacs (27%) exhibited the rearrangement whereas Lakich et al. [1] and Naylor et al. [2] respectively estimated the inversion frequency at 47% and 42% in severe haemophiliacs. The reason for this discrepancy is not accounted for. In this study, we observed two novel patterns of inversions as yet unreported. We did not find any correlation between the presence of the inversion and a particular RLFP haplotype, or ethnic origin, or the absence of a FVIII inhibitor. Among the cases with the inversion, the proportion of sporadic and transmitted cases was roughly equivalent and we also confirm that the inversion occurs preferentially in the male germ-line.[1]
