PILOTO ROQUE, Yaixa et al. Family study of hemophilia A and B: 5 years of experience in carrier detection. Rev Cubana Hematol Inmunol Hemoter [online]. 2010, vol.26, n.2, pp. 50-56. ISSN 1561-2996.

Hemophilia is a congenital disease of coagulation disorder and it is a recessive disorder linked to X-chromosome. The molecular study is conducted by indirect studies due to it is caused by heterogeneous mutations in gen of FVIII and FIX in 40 families with hemophilia A (HA) and 10 with hemophilia B (HB). DNA extraction was carried out by saline precipitation method in 293 blood samples and 19 samples of amniotic fluid, as well as the analysis of St14, Bcl I and Hind III polymorphism for the AH and Taq I, Xmn I and Dde I for BH. The PCR technique was used. In the caser of AH it was possible to achieve a 35 % of information for St14 and Hind III and a 32.5 % for Bcl. Dde polymorphism supplied more information for BH for a 33 %; whereas the Taq I represented the 10 % of information and Xmn I the 0 %. We verified that from the families analyzed with HA, in 23 of them we there was information. Besides, in 4 families affected by HB there was information. A total of 19 prenatal diagnoses were made with a previous determination of fetus sex, including 3 males ill.
