Inhibitors are an impediment to the effective management of haemophilia B (HB), but there is limited understanding of the underlying genetic risk factors. In this study we aim to understand the role of F9 gene mutations on inhibitor development in patients with HB. Mutations in the F9 gene were identified and HLA typing performed for five boys with severe HB. Data from the CDC Haemophilia B Mutation Project (CHBMP) database were used to assess association between F9 gene mutation type and inhibitor development. Analysis of the CHBMP database showed that larger disruptions in the F9 gene are associated with a higher life-time prevalence of inhibitors. We detected the following mutations in the five subjects, including four novel mutations: Nonsense in three patients (c.223 C>T; p.Arg75* in two siblings, c.553 C>T; p.Glu185*); Splice site in two patients (c.723 + 1 G>A, c.278-27 A>G); Missense in one patient (c.580 A>G, p.Thr194Ala; c.723 G>T; p.Gln241His). Of the two siblings only one responded to immune tolerance induction (ITI). These siblings have identical F9 gene mutations but differ with respect to the HLA alleles. Interestingly, an analysis of peptide-MHC binding affinities shows a significantly higher (one-sided unpaired t-test, P = 0.0018) median affinity for FIX-derived peptides in the sibling that responded to ITI. We conclude that the nature of the F9 gene mutation may be an important risk factor for the development of inhibitors. In addition, the HLA alleles of the individual patients, in conjunction with the mutation type, could be a predictor for the development of inhibitors as well as the response to ITI.
