EAHAD DBs Latest: Mar 2022 - F7 Database Updated to 2021
For the F9 DB, An extensive programme of revision of published and unpublished data has been undertaken recently. Many corrections and amendments have been made, for example updating of Human Genome Variant Society (HGVS) variant definitions, together with removal of duplicate case entries. In addition more than 1000 additional cases (including 92 previously undescribed variants) have been added during 2020.
See Citing Us (below) for information on our recent EAHAD-DB publications.
F9 Variants
Haemophilia B is usually caused by genetic variants (mutations) in the F9 gene which codes for coagulation factor IX (FIX). There are currently
1244
unique variants in the F9 gene compiled within this database corresponding to
4713 individual cases.
What can you do in this database?
You can search for all the variants reported in the F9 gene. You can look in the database for all the sequence, structural and statistical information for the variants.

Reference Sequences and Nomenclature (HGVS and Legacy)
The reference sequence used for FVIII protein is NP_000124.1 and its corresponding stable Locus Reference Genomic DNA sequence (LRG) is LRG_556.
Codons and amino-acids are numbered on this site in two ways. In HGVS numbering, codons are numbered with codon +1 coding for the first residue (Met) of the 46-residue signal peptide/propeptide (this is -46 in Legacy numbering). In Legacy numbering, codon +1 refers to that coding for the first amino-acid of the mature FIX protein (in HGVS numbering, this is codon +47). HGVS numbering is recommended, however Legacy numbering is extensively used in FIX publications, particularly before the year 2000.
Classification of Variant Phenotype (Severity):
Variants causing haemophilia B are classified by factor IX clotting activity level (FIX:C) into the following groups: severe (≤1%), moderate (1-5%) and mild >5%. Where a laboratory value does not correlate with the severity given in a particular report we have attempted to clarify the discrepancy with the original authors. If the discrepancy remains, the clinical severity of the phenotype as reported by the authors has been used. For variants causing mild haemophilia B we have attempted to indicate whether the deleterious effect of the mutation is predominantly quantitative (reduced levels of a normally functioning protein) or qualitative (dysfunctional protein which may or may not also be associated with a reduction in protein level). This is indicated in results tables under the "Type" heading using the conventions used for other coagulation proteins so that Type I refers to quantitative defects with an activity:antigen ratio >0.7 and Type II are qualitative defects with a ratio ≤ 0.7. These categories broadly correspond respectively to the terms CRM (cross-reacting material) negative and positive sometimes found in older publications.
