Factor VIII (Hemophilia A) Genetic Analysis
Also known as: Factor VIII Genetic Sequencing, Factor VIII Mutation Analysis
Use
Diagnostic testing
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
This assay may not detect mosaicism or large chromosomal aberrations that do not affect copy number. It cannot distinguish between type I and type II inversions in intron 22 of the F8 gene. False results may occur due to rare variants, pseudogene interference, mislabeled samples, or erroneous family relationships. The clinical significance of variants may change over time as more information becomes available.
