Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: yes

Cross-species summary: Also called hemophilia B, factor IX deficiency or Christmas disease. This is one of the two X-linked bleeding disorders, haemophilia A being the other. The fact that these two disorders are X-linked in all species reported to date provides strong support for Ohno's suggestion that the X chromosome has been highly conserved throughout evolution.

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
