However, comprehensive molecular studies on HB remain limited. Therefore, this study aimed to characterize genetic variants and assess their clinical significance in unrelated Vietnamese patients with HB.Patients and Methods: This study included a cohort of 143 unrelated HB patients with diagnosed FIX levels. Genetic analysis of the F9 gene was performed using DNA sequencing and other molecular techniques. Variant pathogenicity was classified following ACMG/AMP guidelines, supplemented by computational predictions and clinical data.Results: A 100% variant detection rate was achieved, identifying 83 unique variants from 143 patients. Single nucleotide variants were predominant, with missense variants accounting for 71.08%. Of the 83 unique variants, 20 novel variants were identified, including six missenses, four nonsenses, four frameshifts, two large deletions, two in-frame deletions, and two splice-site variants. The serine protease domain contained the highest proportion of variants (49.4%). Pathogenicity analysis revealed a predominance of severe phenotypes (72.03%). Among the novel variants, twelve were classified as pathogenic, one as likely pathogenic, and seven as variants of uncertain significance. A noteworthy case was the NM_000133.4:c.-21C>T promoter variant associated with HB Leyden, which demonstrated age-dependent improvements in factor IX levels.Conclusion: This study expands the mutational spectrum of HB in the Vietnamese population and provide critical insights into genotype-phenotype correlations. The identification of novel variants enhances diagnostic precision and underscores the importance of comprehensive genomic analyses in understanding disease mechanisms. Keywords: factor IX, bleeding disorder, blood disease, next-generation sequencing, genetic disease, coagulation factor |
