Utilizing polymerase chain reaction and directly sequencing the amplified exon 6 of the factor IX gene derived from a mild hemophilia Bm patient, we have identified a T to C mutation at nucleotide 20,525. This point mutation predicted a Val182 to Ala substitution in the abnormal factor IX molecule, designated as factor IX Tokyo. The patient manifested a low factor IX activity and a moderately prolonged ox-brain prothrombin time but a normal factor IX antigen level in plasma. Immunopurified factor IX derived from the patient was found to have a normal molecular weight but a reduced specific activity (23% of normal). Limited proteolysis by activated factor XI or by a snake venom-derived factor X-activating enzyme was considerably delayed, indicating the presence of structural alteration(s) most probably at or near the second enzyme-cleavage site. Once activated, however, factor IXa Tokyo was able to activate factor X normally and was inactivated by antithrombin III also in a normal fashion. The structural model of factor IXa and a docking model of factor IX and activated factor VII (factor VIIa) suggested that the Val182 to Ala substitution would not affect the local conformation of the catalytic domain. This mutation would rather loosen the fitness of the molecule into the substrate-binding pocket of factor VIIa due to a shorter side chain of the Ala substitution at the P2' position of the second cleavage site.

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.
