Single synonymous mutation in factor IX alters protein properties and underlies haemophilia B
22 Dec 2016
Abstract excerpt
Background Haemophilia B is caused by genetic aberrations in the F9 gene. The majority of these are non-synonymous mutations that alter the primary structure of blood coagulation factor IX (FIX). However, a synonymous mutation c.459G>A (Val107Val) was clinically reported to result in mild haemophilia B (FIX coagulant activity 15%–20% of normal). The F9 mRNA of these patients showed no skipping or retention of...
