Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations cause or predispose to most disease. Hemophilia B is a useful model for studying the underlying pattern of recent germline mutations in humans because the observed pattern of mutation in factor IX more closely reflects the underlying pattern of mutation than the observed pattern for many other genes. In addition, it is possible to identify and correct for biases inherent in ascertaining only...
