A new HindIII restriction fragment length polymorphism in the hemophilia A locus

Hum Genet. 1987 Jun;76(2):127-8. doi: 10.1007/BF00284907.

Abstract

Using a fragment of the cDNA for human coagulation factor VIII as a hybridization probe, we have detected a new polymorphic HindIII site in intron 19 of the factor VIII gene. The frequency of the minor allele is 0.30. This polymorphism shows strong linkage disequilibrium with a previously described BclI polymorphism in intron 18.
