Abstract excerpt
Haemophilia B Leyden is characterized by low plasma levels (< or = 1-13% of normal) of blood coagulation factor IX during childhood. After the onset of puberty, plasma factor IX levels gradually rise, probably under the influence of androgens. Single point mutations have been detected in the factor IX promoter at -21, -20, -6, -5, +6, +8 and +13. This paper examines how two of these mutations (a deletion of an A,...
