Abstract
Haemophilia A (HA) is a common X-linked recessive bleeding disorder and almost one half of patients with severe HA are caused by intron 22 inversion (Inv22) in the F8. Inv22 is considered to be almost exclusively of meiotic origin in germ cells during spermatogenesis and only one mosaic Inv22 female carrier with the mutation possibly occurring during mitosis of the embryo has been reported so far. Previously we have identified a novel complex recombination mediated by int22h copies in a sporadic severe HA pedigree and herein we have localised the sequences flanking the breakpoint region using genome walking technique, AccuCopy technique, gene chip and real-time PCR. The disease causing genetic variant registered an 18.1 kb deletion including part of int22h-1 through the intron 23 of F8 and a 113.3 kb duplication of part of int22h-2 through the intron 1 of TMLHE inserted in the religated region of the F8. Two intrinsically linked mechanisms of recombination-dependent DNA replication: microhomology-mediated break-induced replication (MMBIR) followed by break-induced replication (BIR) might be responsible for the incident of the complex recombination during early embryogenesis of the proband's mother.

Molecular cytogenetic characterization of five F8 complex rearrangements: utility for haemophilia A genetic counselling. Haemophilia 2017; 23:e316-e323.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genomic inversions are usually balanced, but unusual patterns have been described in haemophilia A (HA) patients for intron 22 (Inv22) and intron 1 (Inv1) inversions leading to the hypothesis of more complex rearrangements involving deletions or duplications. AIM To characterize five abnormal patterns either in Southern blot and long-range PCR for Inv22 or in PCR for Inv1. MATERIALS AND METHODS All patients were studied using cytogenetic microarray analysis (CMA). RESULTS In all cases, CMA analysis found that each inversion was associated with complex Xq28 rearrangement. In three patients, CMA analysis showed large duplication ranging from 230 to 1302 kb and encompassing a various number of contiguous genes among which RAB39B. RAB39B duplication is a strong candidate gene for X-linked intellectual disability (XLID). Surprisingly, none of the severe HA patients with RAB39B duplication reported in this study or in the literature exhibited XLID. We hypothesise that F8 complex rearrangement down regulated RAB39B expression. In the two remaining patients, CMA analysis found Xq28 large deletion (from 285 to 522 kb). Moyamoya syndrome was strongly suspected in one of them who carried BRCC3 deletion. CONCLUSION Because several F8 neighbouring genes are associated with other pathologies such as XLID and cardiovascular disease, all HA patients where complex Xq28 rearrangement was suspected should be referred to a geneticist for possible utility of a pangenomic study. Such investigation should be carefully considered in genetic counselling in female carriers to assess the risk of transmitting severe HA with a "contiguous gene syndrome".

Accurate, simple, and inexpensive assays to diagnose F8 gene inversion mutations in hemophilia A patients and carriers. Blood Adv 2016; 1:231-239. [PMID: 29296938 DOI: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2016001651] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2016] [Accepted: 11/03/2016] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
The most frequent mutations resulting in hemophilia A are an intron 22 or intron 1 gene inversion, which together cause ∼50% of severe hemophilia A cases. We report a simple and accurate RNA-based assay to detect these mutations in patients and heterozygous carriers. The assays do not require specialized equipment or expensive reagents; therefore, they may provide useful and economic protocols that could be standardized for central laboratory testing. RNA is purified from a blood sample, and reverse transcription nested polymerase chain reaction (RT-NPCR) reactions amplify DNA fragments with the F8 sequence spanning the exon 22 to 23 splice site (intron 22 inversion test) or the exon 1 to 2 splice site (intron 1 inversion test). These sequences will be amplified only from F8 RNA without an intron 22 or intron 1 inversion mutation, respectively. Additional RT-NPCR reactions are then carried out to amplify the inverted sequences extending from F8 exon 19 to the first in-frame stop codon within intron 22 or a chimeric transcript containing F8 exon 1 and the VBP1 gene. These latter 2 products are produced only by individuals with an intron 22 or intron 1 inversion mutation, respectively. The intron 22 inversion mutations may be further classified (eg, as type 1 or type 2, reflecting the specific homologous recombination sites) by the standard DNA-based "inverse-shifting" PCR assay if desired. Efficient Bcl I and T4 DNA ligase enzymes that cleave and ligate DNA in minutes were used, which is a substantial improvement over previous protocols that required overnight incubations. These protocols can accurately detect F8 inversion mutations via same-day testing of patient samples.
