• Sequence affected male’s DNA• Identify amplicon (1 of 30 for F8) with altered sequence• Use reference (F8) sequence to interpret result of nucleotide
change (eg missense mutation)• Make judgement as to whether it is causative mutation in that
patient (using mutation database, amino acid conservation etc)• Seek mutation in ? carrier females to determine carrier status

Linkage Analysis• Technically simple
• Multiple members, including an affected member from the same family required
• Dependant on heterozygosity of key female relative(s)
• Ethnic variation in informativity
• In families with no prior haemophilia history, can only be used to exclude females as carriers
