Disease/Condition Glossary
Haemophilia B: Haemophilia B, also called factor IX deficiency or Christmas disease, is a genetic disorder caused by missing or defective factor IX, a clotting protein. If factor IX is absent or low in blood, it may cause blood coagulation problems, leading to bleeding in joints, muscles or internal organs. People may have this condition from birth or acquire it later in life. Symptoms of haemophilia B may include bleeding in joints associated with pain and swelling, blood in urine or stool, bruising, nosebleeds, gastrointestinal and urinary tract bleeding, and unusual/prolonged bleeding.
