ABSTRACT
Hemophilia B or Christmas disease was first differentiated from hemophilia
A in 1947. Its classic form consists of an inherited bleeding disorder caused
by mutations in the F9 gene, which codes for coagulation factor IX. Its inheritance
is linked to the X chromosome; women are carriers, but it manifests clinically in
men, although cases of symptomatic women carriers have been described. Factor
IX activates a vitamin K-dependent protein, synthesized in the liver, which is part
of the tenase complex whose function is to form the largest amount of thrombin
(factor IIa) in the new model of cell-based coagulation. According to factor IX activity,
its deficiency can be classified as mild (5% to 40%), moderate (1% to 5%), and
severe (‹1%). The diagnosis is made when there is a prolonged TPT that corrects
with normal plasma, and by assessing the functional level of factor IX. The diagnosis
is confirmed by molecular analysis that demonstrates the F9 gene mutation.
Its differential diagnosis includes disorders such as hemophilia A. Treatment with
recombinant factor IX is widely used, but also new therapies are being developed
with recombinant adeno-associated viruses that promise to improve the quality
of life for some of these patients. Prophylaxis plays an important role in cases of
moderate and severe disease.
