Hemophilia B; Hemb
Description
Hemophilia B due to factor IX deficiency is phenotypically indistinguishable from hemophilia A (OMIM ), which results from deficiency of coagulation factor VIII (F8 ). The classic laboratory findings in hemophilia B include a prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and a normal prothrombin time (PT) (Lefkowitz et al., 1993).Early studies made a distinction between cross-reactive-material (CRM)-negative and CRM-positive hemophilia B mutants. This classification referred to detection of the F9 antigen in plasma, even in the presence of decreased F9 activity. Detection of the antigen indicated the presence of a dysfunctional F9 protein. Roberts et al. (1968) found that about 90% of patients with hemophilia B were CRM-negative, whereas about 10% were CRM-positive. However, Bertina and Veltkamp (1978) found that a rather large proportion of the hemophilia B patients could be characterized as hemophilia B CRM+. They identified 14 cases of hemophilia B CRM+ from 11 families among a group of 33 patients. After immunologic and activity comparisons, they found at least 7 different factor IX variants. Bertina and Veltkamp (1978) noted the high heterogeneity within this group. In an editorial on variants of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors, Bertina et al. (1979) stated that 9 defective variants of factor II, 5 variants of factor X, and many variants (about 180 pedigrees) of factor IX had been identified. At least one variant of factor VII (Padua) was also known.
