| pubmed-article:1080293 | pubmed:abstractText | Using one-stage quantitative factor VIII assay and the quantitative immunoelectrophoretic method of LAURELL a good correlation has been found between factor VII activity and protein concentration. In 80% of the known hemophilia A carriers the protein concentration was about twice as high as in normals as compared to the factor VIII activity, whereas about 20% of the known carriers have the same ratio between factor VIII protein and factor VIII activity as normals. The reliability of the test and its usefulness for the detection of hemophilia A carriers are discussed. | lld:pubmed |
