Abstract
Some genetic and treatment-related factors are risk factors for inhibitor development in patients with hemophilia A (PwHA). However, the genotype distribution of the factor VIII gene (F8) and genetic impact on inhibitor development in Japanese PwHA remain unknown. In 2007, the Japan Hemophilia Inhibitor Study 2 (J-HIS2) was organized to establish a nationwide registry system for hemophiliacs and to elucidate risk factors for inhibitor development, designed for prospective investigation following a retrospective study (J-HIS1) which had already finished. Patients, newly diagnosed after January 2007, were enrolled in J-HIS2 and followed up for inhibitor development and clinical environments since 2008 onward. In the present study, F8 genotypes of PwHA were investigated in the patients recruited from the J-HIS2 cohort as well as those with inhibitor from the J-HIS1 cohort. F8 variants identified in 59 PwHA with inhibitor in J-HIS1 were: 20 intron-22 inversions, 5 intron-1 inversions, 9 large deletions, 4 nonsense, 8 missense, 11 small in/del, and 2 splice-site variants. F8 variants identified in 267 (67 with inhibitor) PwHA in J-HIS2 were: 76(28) intron-22 inversions, 3(2) intron-1 inversion, 1(0) duplication, 8(5) large deletions, 21(7) nonsense, 109(7) missense, 40(11) small in/del, and 9(7) splice-site variants. Forty variants were novel. The cumulative inhibitor incidence rate in the severe group with null changes was 42.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 33.7-50.8), higher than that with nonnull changes (15.6% [95%CI: 6.8-27.8]), in J-HIS2. Relative risk for inhibitor development of null changes was 2.89. The spectrum of F8 genotype and genetic impact on inhibitor development in Japanese PwHA were consistent with the previous reports.

Abstract
Hemophilia A (HA) is a severe coagulation disorder affecting 1 in 5000 to 10 000 male births. In severe cases, the most deleterious large DNA rearrangements are inversions of intron 22 (Inv22) and intron 1 (Inv1) of the factor VIII (FVIII) gene. These account for 40% to 50% and 1% to 5% of all causative mutations, respectively. Nevertheless, no genetic analysis to identify the actual causative mutation of FVIII, particularly Inv22 and Inv1, among Iraqi Kurdish hemophiliacs has been performed. In this study, we aimed to genotype Inv22 and Inv1 of the FVIII gene in our patients with HA and reveal the genotype/phenotype correlation with the inversion mutations and their role as a risk factor for the development of inhibitors. Analyses of the Inv22 and Inv1 mutations in 80 Iraqi Kurdish patients with HA (60 severe, 18 moderate, and 2 mild) were performed using the inverse shifting–polymerase chain reaction (IS-PCR) method. In severe cases, 46.7% (28/60) had Inv22 and 3.3% (2/60) had Inv1. The genotype/phenotype relation of Inv22 and Inv1 illustrated a statistically significant association (P = .012) between disease severity and inversion mutations. Slightly more patients with Inv22 (39%) developed inhibitors than those without Inv22 (28%; odds ratio = 1.65, 95% confidence interval = 0.56-4.87, P = .361). Inv22 is a major cause of severe HA in Iraqi Kurdish patients, and IS-PCR is a rapid, robust, and effective method that can be applied for carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis of HA in developing countries.

Genotyping of intron 22-related rearrangements of F8 by inverse-shifting PCR in Egyptian hemophilia A patients. Ann Hematol 2010; 90:579-84.

Abstract
Hemophilia A (HA) is the most common severe bleeding disorder in humans, affecting one in 5,000 male births. In severe HA, intron 22 inversion of F8 is the most prevalent mutation, accounting for 40-50% of all mutations; however, little is known about the disease-causing mutations among Egyptian hemophiliacs. We aimed at genotyping all possible known DNA rearrangements of intron 22 of F8 in Egyptian HA patients. Peripheral blood samples were collected from 30 Egyptian HA patients (13 severe, ten moderate, and seven mild cases). Genotyping of F8 intron 22 rearrangements was performed by inverse-shifting PCR (IS-PCR). Our study revealed that seven patients (23.3%) had inversion 22, three patients (10%) had deletion 22, and 20 patients (66.7%) carried the wild-type allele. No intron 22 duplication was detected. The relative proportion of inversion 22-type 1 to inversion 22-type 2 was 85.7% and 14.3%, respectively, whereas the relative proportion of deletion 22-type 1 to deletion 22-type 2 was 33.3% and 66.7%, respectively. A statistically highly significant relation was found between disease severity and F8 intron 22 rearrangements (p = 0.008). Among severe cases, 46.1% had inversion 22, 23.1% had deletion 22, and 30.8% carried the wild-type allele. We conclude that F8 intron 22 inversion/deletion is responsible for about one third of disease-causing mutations among Egyptian hemophiliacs and for nearly 70% in severe cases. In addition, F8 intron 22 inversion/deletion by IS-PCR has proven to be a rapid and robust technique and might be the recommended tool for genetic analysis of HA patients specially with severe cases in developing countries.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the frequency of factor VIII (FVIII) gene intron 1 and intron 22 inversions and the informativeness of polymorphic markers for the genetic diagnosis of patients with haemophilia A (HA). Fifty unrelated patients with HA were first assessed for the intron 1 and intron 22 inversion mutations. Inversion-negative families were then screened for the bi-allelic intragenic markers--intron 7 G-->A polymorphism, HindIII site in intron 19 and XbaI site in intron 22 and the multiallelic dinucleotide CA repeat alleles in introns 13 and 22. The extragenic, multiallelic VNTR DXS52 (st14) was also analysed. Intron 22 inversion mutation was found in 38% (n = 19) of all patients and 46% of those with severe HA. Intron 1 inversion was found in one (2%) patient. Of the 30 inversion-negative families, XbaI site polymorphism was the single most informative marker (70%, n = 21/30) followed by HindIII (60%, n = 18/30), intron 13 CA repeats (56.66%, n = 17/30), intron 22 CA repeats (50%, n = 15/30), DXS52 VNTR (23.33%, n = 7/30) and intron 7 G-->A polymorphism (6.66%, n = 2/30). The combined use of these markers was informative in 92% (n = 46/50) of HA families. Based on the informativeness of these markers a comprehensive algorithm has been proposed for genetic diagnosis of HA in India.
