(also spelled '''Hemophilia B''' or '''Hæmophilia B''') is a 1952;2:1378-1382. PMID 12997790.
Treatment (bleeding prophylaxis) is by intravenous infusion of factor IX.
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.
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.
