Since 1996 the HAMSTeRS (Haemophilia A Mutation, Search, Test and Resource
Site) WWW site has provided an online resource for access to data on the
molecular pathology of haemophilia A, replacing previous text editions of
the Haemophilia A Database published in Nucleic Acids Research . This
report describes the continued development of the site (version 4), and in
particular the expansion of factor VIII (FVIII) structure-related features.
Access to the mutation database itself, both for searching the listings and
for submission of new mutations, is via custom-designed forms: more
powerful Boolean searches of the point mutations in the database are also
available. During 1997 a total of 22 novel missense mutations were
reported, increasing the total number of unique variants now described to
252 (238 in exonic sequences and 14 at intronic splice junctions).
Currently, a total of 586 individual reports with associated phenotypic
data are available for searching by any category including phenotype. The
FVIII structure section now includes a download of a FVIII A domain
homology model in Protein Data Bank format and a multiple alignment of the
FVIII amino-acid sequencies from four species (human, murine, porcine and
canine) in addition to the virtual reality simulations, secondary
structural data and FVIII animation already available. Finally, to aid
navigation across this site, a clickable roadmap of the main features
provides easy access to the page desired. Our intention is that continued
development and updating of the site shall provide workers in the fields of
molecular and structural biology with a one-stop resource site to
facilitate FVIII research and education. The HAMSTeRS URL is
