Hemophilia B (factor IX deficiency) is an X-linked recessive disorder with a prevalence of 1:30,000 male births, which rarely affects females. A missense mutation T38R (6488C>G) of the factor IX (FIX) gene was characterized in a young female with moderate-to-severe hemophilia B. She is heterozygous for this mutation, which she inherited from her carrier mother. Analysis of the methyl-sensitive HpaII sites in the first exon of the human androgen-receptor locus indicated a de novo skewed X-chromosomal inactivation. This indicates that the paternal X-chromosome carrying her normal FIX gene is the inactive one, which has led to the phenotypic expression of hemophilia B in this patient.
