Activities of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.7 APRT) and hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.8 HGPRT) were studied in thrombocytes of healthy donors, patients with hemophilia A and B and of women--heterozygote carriers of the pathologic gene. The data obtained suggest that HGPRT test may be used as a genetic marker of hemophilia as well as to detect the heterozygote carriers; estimation of APRT activity is suitable test for differentiation of hemophilia forms.

A novel missense mutation (codon 351, GCT (Ala) --> CCT (Pro)) of the FIX gene was characterised in a young female with mild hemophilia B. She is heterozygous for the FIX mutation inherited from her carrier mother. Analysis of the methyl-sensitive Hpa II sites at the 5' end of the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase gene showed that skewed inactivation of the X chromosome carrying her normal FIX gene accounted for the hemophilia phenotype.
