Background Information for Hemophilia B (F9) Sequencing:
Characteristics: Severe deficiency of factor IX clotting activity is associated with spontaneous joint or deep tissue bleeding. Moderate or mild deficiency is associated with prolonged bleeding after tooth extractions, surgery, or injuries and recurrent or delayed wound healing.
Incidence: 1 in 25,000 males worldwide.
Penetrance: 100 percent in males and 10 percent in females.
Inheritance: X-linked recessive.
Cause: Deleterious F9 gene mutations.
Clinical Sensitivity: 97 percent.
Methodology: Bidirectional sequencing of the entire F9 coding region and intron-exon boundaries and proximal promoter.
Analytical Sensitivity and Specificity: 99 percent.
Limitations: Diagnostic errors can occur due to rare sequence variations. Deep intronic mutations and gene duplications will not be detected in patients of either sex; large deletions will not be detected in females.
Compliance Statement C: For human genetic inheritable conditions and mutations. This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by ARUP Laboratories. The U. S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved or cleared this test; however, FDA clearance or approval is not currently required for clinical use. The results are not intended to be used as the sole means for clinical diagnosis or patient management decisions.
Counseling and informed consent are recommended for genetic testing. Consent forms are available online.
