[A new polymorphism in the human factor IX gene, useful for determining carriers of hemophilia B]. 1994

V L Surin, and A V Luk'ianenko, and A F Tagiev, and O V Smirnova

A new Taq I polymorphism in Alu repeat 4 of the human factor IX gene is reported. This polymorphism is associated with a C-T transition at the 72-bp position of the Alu repeat consensus sequence. A simple PCR system for testing of this structural anomaly, with internal control of restriction hydrolysis, was developed. The frequency of the new polymorphic site and its linkage with other polymorphisms of the factor IX gene were also evaluated. The new polymorphism was used for establishing hemophilia B carriers.

D011110	Polymorphism, Genetic	The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.

D002836	Hemophilia B	A deficiency of blood coagulation factor IX inherited as an X-linked disorder. (Also known as Christmas Disease, after the first patient studied in detail, not the holy day.) Historical and clinical features resemble those in classic hemophilia (HEMOPHILIA A), but patients present with fewer symptoms. Severity of bleeding is usually similar in members of a single family. Many patients are asymptomatic until the hemostatic system is stressed by surgery or trauma. Treatment is similar to that for hemophilia A.

D005164	Factor IX	Storage-stable blood coagulation factor acting in the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. Its activated form, IXa, forms a complex with factor VIII and calcium on platelet factor 3 to activate factor X to Xa. Deficiency of factor IX results in HEMOPHILIA B (Christmas Disease).
