Hemophilia B is an inherited disease caused by a defect in the F9 gene, leading to insufficient production of the blood clotting factor IX. The genetic defect can occur either through X-linked inheritance or a spontaneous de novo mutation. Although this condition predominantly affects males, the carrier females may also experience occasional bleeding symptoms. Hemophilia B primarily follows an X-linked recessive pattern of inheritance. However, researchers have also reported some acquired forms resulting from the development of autoantibodies against factor IX. This topic comprehensively explores the genetic causes, clinical manifestations, potential complications, and the pivotal role of genetic testing in diagnosing hemophilia B, assessing disease severity, determining female carrier status, and informing decisions related to obstetrical care. This activity also highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and treating hemophilia B in individuals.
