- To stratify patients by carriage of mutation type 10 hemophilia carriers of mild mutations that are predicted to lead to reduced FVIII secretion, protein stability or thrombin cleavage site interference and 10 hemophilia carriers of severe mutations that lead to predicted negative cross reactive material will be selected. Predicted FVIII function of the mutation will be verified by EAHAD (European Association for Haemophilia and Allied Disorders) Coagulant Factor Variant Database at www.eahad-db.org)
