Haemophilia B Leyden is characterized by severe factor IX deficiency during childhood with partial resolution at puberty or following the administration of anabolic steroids. The disorder has recently been associated with point mutations in the putative factor IX promoter region, which contains an imperfect direct repeat spanning a possible start site of transcription. We have identified a T to C transition at...
