Abstract excerpt
The molecular pathology that results in hemophilia B has been determined by many studies to be highly variable. Several point mutations have been identified in a 40-bp region within the Factor IX promoter. These include mutations at nucleotides -20, -6, +8, and +13. Here we report an A to T transversion at position -5 of the Factor IX gene. There is strong circumstantial evidence to support an important role for...
