De Novo Noninversion Variants Implicated in Sporadic Hemophilia A: A Variant Origin and Timing Study.

ABSTRACT: Sporadic hemophilia A (HA) enables the persistence of HA in the population. F8 gene inversion originates mainly in male germ cells during meiosis. To date, no studies have shown the origin and timing of HA sporadic noninversion variants (NIVs); herein, we assume that HA-sporadic NIVs are generated as a de novo variant. Of the 125 registered families with HA, 22 were eligible for inclusion. We conducted a linkage analysis using F8 gene markers and amplification refractory mutation system-quantitative polymerase chain reaction to confirm the origin of the sporadic NIVs (~0% mutant cells) or the presence of a mosaic variant, which requires further confirmation of the origin in the parent. Nine mothers, four maternal grandmothers, and six maternal grandfathers were confirmed to b
