Haemophilia B (Factor IX Deficiency)
ثبت نشده
چکیده
If a woman is a carrier there is a 1 in 2 chance that any son will be affected and a 1 in 2 chance that any daughter will be a carrier. If a man with the disease fathers a child, any daughter will be a carrier and any son will be unaffected and will not carry the gene. There is a report of a daughter of a man with the disease who had a factor IX level of 5% and haemarthroses and this was thought to be a manifestation due to Lyonisation, in which one of the X chromosomes is inactive. There are a few other isolated reports of females presenting with the disease. [1]

Cross-reacting material in genetic variants of haemophilia B.
Cross-reacting factor IX material (CRM) was immunologically detected in the plasma of 38 normal individuals and 21 out of 22 haemophilia B patients using a rabbit antibody to factor IX. The same reacting material was detected in only nine of these patients using a human antibody. These results indicate that the plasma of the majority of haemophilia B patients contains a protein-lacking biologic...
متن کاملRare diseases treated by plasma proteins
When plasma is separated or recovered from a blood donation or when plasma is collected by plasmapheresis the end result is not just a fluid which can be used in the treatment of many medical conditions but a raw material which can be used for the production of specific life saving or life enhancing medications for a variety of conditions. These conditions include Haemophilia A and Haemophilia ...

Introduction: Hemophilia B is an X-linked recessive genetic disease caused by mutations in the coagulation Factor IX gene. Mutations in the Factor IX gene result in dysfunction or deficiency of coagulation factor of IX. Direct mutation analysis involves the ideal method for molecular diagnosis of the disease. However, due to the high number of identified mutations in the gen, the lack of a comm...
متن کاملExpression of active human blood clotting factor IX in transgenic mice: use of a cDNA with complete mRNA sequence.
Haemophilia B is a bleeding disorder caused by a functional deficiency of the clotting factor IX. A full length human factor IX complementary DNA clone containing all the natural mRNA sequences plus some flanking intron sequences was constructed with a metallothionein promoter and introduced into transgenic mice by microinjection into the pronuclei of fertilised eggs. The transgenic mice expres...
متن کاملProgress towards gene therapy for haemophilia B.
Haemophilia B is an X-linked recessive bleeding disorder, arising from a deficiency of coagulation factor IX. It has been a target for gene therapy ever since the factor IX gene was cloned in 1982. Several distinct approaches have been evaluated in humans over the last 30 years, but none has resulted in tangible corrections of the bleeding phenotype in humans until recently. Our group has now s...
متن کاملA five-year study of a haemophilia reference centre.
Attendances at the Regional Haemophilia Reference Centre in the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary have been analysed over a period of five years from 1969 to 1973. Of 77 patients registered in 1969, 64 had haemophilia A (factor VIII deficiency) and 13 had haemophilia B (factor IX deficiency). In 1973 the numbers were 68 and 14 respectively. An increased attendance at the Centre from 123 in 1969 to 624 ...
