How to order genetic testing for Hemophilia A and B
... Most mutations that cause hemophilia B are little alterations in genetic code, which is why sequencing will detect pathogenic mutations in 97% to100% of individuals with a clinical diagnosis of hemophilia B. However, while this method allows us to see small mutations in the DNA sequence, it is too f ...
