Carrier Detection of Ovine Hemophilia A Using an RFLP Marker, and Mapping of the Factor VIII Gene on the Ovine X-Chromosome

Ovine hemophilia A is an X-linked recessive bleeding disorder. For diagnostic purposes, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis in the region of the factor VIII (F-VIII) gene was carried out using human F-VIII gene probes. The probe St14, Known to detect a highly polymorphic region that is closely linked to the F-VIII gene in humans, hybridized nonspecifcally with DNA from sheep. Searching for Intragenic RFLPs, the entire 9.0-kb coding sequence of the human F-VIII was used as a probe. Using the 1.8-kb Sstl/Kpnl F-VIII cDNA probe for hybridization, an Mspl-RFLP with allelic bands of 5.8 Kb (A1) and 4.2 kb (A2) was detected. A1 was in linkage phase with the mutated allele responsible for hemophilia A. The F-VIII locus in the sheep genome was assigned to the long arm of the X-chromosome in the region Xq24-q33, Using In situ hybridization with a 3-Kb human F-VIII cDNA probe to QFQ banded sheep metaphase chromosome

Financial Analysis and Intercompany Comparison

The goal of this diploma thesis is to prepare financial analyses of three selected construction companies. Results of these analyses will be compared using methods of intercompany comparison. First part of the diploma thesis deals with basics of financial analysis and intercompany comparison, i.e. why, whom and how are both financial analysis and intercompany comparison done and which methods are used. These methods are implemented in the second half of the work. Evaluation of the results are in conclusion
