Intrctn 22 Inversion, IIuntan g1)NA.

Introduction flaemttphilia A is a hereditary ~ene t i c bleeding disorder and occi~rs in about I in 5000 to IOOOO nlafe birth\ if 1. The phenotypic manifestations are partial or complete abxence of circulating factor V111 (F-t'lil, F'k'j, a coapulaticin factor protein. leading tct frequent spontttneous bleeding into rhe jctints, muscles and intern~il organs. Correct molecular diagnosis, especially of the female carriers, is of paramount importance. In addition to transmitting the defective gene, rlpproxinsately 10% of the female carriers also have low circulating levels of FVIII and therefore are at risk of bleeding (2). lntron 22 inversion mutation of the F8 gene accounts Lbr 50% of severe haemophilia A, the most common X-linked congenital coagulation bleeding disorder (3, 3. 5). The inversion had been reported to be caused by an intra-chromosomal recitnlbination between a 9.6 kb sequence within the intron 22 of the F8 gene and one of the two almost identical copies located about 300 kb distal to the F8 gene at the telomoeric end of the X- chron~osome ( 3 ) . Generic analysis of the intron 22 inversion is challenging, involving technically demanding methods such as Southern blotting and long distance PC'K (6, 7). External quality assurance schemes have shown that errors in genotyping for this mutation do occur (8). Most laboratories use as their in-assay control DNA samples extracted from patients knotvn to carry the intron 22 intm-sion mutation. However, these are not well characterised and are usually only available in limited amounts. Stable certified reference materials are not available for validation of methods. We have therefore produced a panel of genomic-DNA (@DNA) lnaterials extracted from immortalised cell lines produced by Epstein-Barn virus (EBV) transformation of lymphocytes from blood s:tmples. The samples were obtained from two normal indit.iduals, an intron 23 inversion posititre female carrier and an intron 22 inversion positive male, with a view to establishing the DNA preparations as the l st International Genetic Reference Panel for I-laemophilia h, Intron 22 Inversion.

The study was designed to determine how \&ell the panel may perform in a large number of laboratories. using a wide variety of methods. In order to assess the consistency of the panel's perfhrmance, the participants were also requested to carry out the study over a period of three days and using different operators and ditferent hatches of reagents when possible.
