Abstract excerpt
To begin documenting the pattern of germ-line mutations in different human races, we have delineated the mutation in nine Korean families with hemophilia B by direct genomic sequencing of the regions of likely functional significance in the factor IX gene. An evaluation of these mutations in combination with previously described point mutations in the factor IX gene of Asians indicates that transitions...
