Overview
Pathophysiology
Factor IX deficiency leads to an increased propensity for haemorrhage. This is in response to mild trauma or even spontaneously, such as in joints (haemarthrosis) or muscles.
Genetics
The factor IX gene is located on the X chromosome (Xq27.1-q27.2). It is inherited X-linked recessive, which explains why - as in haemophilia A - mostly males are generally affected.
