Abstract excerpt
Mutations at CpG dinucleotides were delineated in the factor IX gene of 38 hemophilia B patients. When transitions at CpG were considered with those previously reported by us and those compiled in the factor IX mutation database, the following patterns emerged. Many CpG sites were mutated with high frequency, while two CpG sites were infrequently mutated (R29-->Q and R116-->TGA). Of the 6 possible nonsense...
