Popis: Abstract Background This study aimed to conduct molecular diagnostics among individuals with hemophilia B (HB) and carriers of hemophilia in Mongolia. Methods Eight patients (six severe, two mild) with HB and their 12 female relatives were enrolled from eight families. Sanger sequence was performed for mutation identification. The questionnaire survey was conducted to evaluate carrier symptoms in female relatives. Results Two families had a history of HB. A total of five different variants (c.223C > T; c.344A > G; c.464G > C; c.187_188del; and c.1314_1314delA) were identified in six patients with severe HB. Of these, two (c.187_188del and c.1314_1314delA) were novel. No variant in the entire F9 was found in two patients with mild HB. Nonsense c.223C > T (p.Arg75*) mutation was detected in two unrelated patients. Carrier testing identified five mothers as carriers, while one younger sister was a non‐carrier. The carrier status of six female relatives of the two mild patients remained undetermined. By questionnaire survey, only one of the five genetically identified carriers displayed noticeable symptoms of being a carrier. Conclusion The novel variants c.187_188del and c.1314_1314delA can cause severe hemophilia B. This study did not observe a significant association between symptoms and carrier status in the five carriers.
