Popis: Summary. With an immunosorbent technique, we have found multiple genetic variants of haemophilia B. In one variant there is no detectable material that cross-reacts with a human anti-factor-IX antibody. This variant is defined as negative for cross-reacting material (CRM−). There is also a CRM+ variant in which the factor-IX deficient plasma has the capacity to neutralize as much antibody as does normal plasma. There is an intermediate variety that neutralizes the specific antibody to a degree which is proportional to the factor-IX clotting activity. This last group has been designated as having reduced cross-reacting material (CRMR). The CRMR group is probably heterogeneous, and it is likely that many genetic variants of haemophilia B exist.
