Ordering Recommendation

Use to identify causal F8 gene intron 22A or intron 1 variant in individuals with established severe hemophilia A and determine carrier status of those with relatives with a known inversion of intron 1 or 22A. The most comprehensive test for individuals with severe hemophilia A is Hemophilia A (F8) 2 Inversions with Reflex to Sequencing and Reflex to Deletion/Duplication (3004232). For mild to moderate hemophilia A, Hemophilia A (F8) Sequencing (3004241) is recommended.
