Deletions with inversions: report of a mutation and review of the literature

Hum Mutat. 1993;2(1):53-7. doi: 10.1002/humu.1380020110.

Abstract

Herein we report a 10.9 kb deletion and a 95 bp inversion in a patient with severe hemophilia B (factor IXHB209). With the addition of factor IXHB209, three of six characterized deletions in the factor IX gene are now known to include inversions. A high frequency of combined deletions and inversions has not previously been described in a human gene.
