Multimodal mechanisms of pathogenic variants in the signal peptide of FIX leading to hemophilia B.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
abstractSignal peptide (SP) is essential for protein secretion, and pathogenic variants in the SP of factor IX (FIX) have been identified in hemophilia B (HB). However, the underlying mechanism for the genotype-phenotype correlation of these variants has not been well studied. Here, we systematically examined the effects of 13 pathogenic point variants in the SP of FIX using different approaches. Our results showed that these point variants lead to HB by missense variants and/or aberrant premessenger RNA (pre-mRNA) splicing. The missense variants in a hydrophobic core (h-region) mainly affected the cotranslational translocation function of the SP, and those in C-terminal containing cleavage site (c-region) caused FIX deficiency mainly by disturbing the cotranslational translocation and/or cleavage of the SP. Almost absolute aberrant pre-mRNA splicing was only observed in variants of c.82T>G, but a slight change of splicing patterns was found in variants of c.53G>T, c.77C>A, c.82T>C, and c.83G>A, indicating that these variants might have different degrees of impact on pre-mRNA splicing. Although two 6-nt deletion aberrant pre-mRNA splicing products caused FIX deficiency by disturbing the SP cleavage, they could produce some functional mature FIX, and vitamin K could increase the secretion of functional FIX. Taken together, our data indicated that pathogenic variants in the SP of FIX caused HB through diverse molecular mechanisms or even a mixture of several mechanisms, and vitamin K availability could be partially attributed to varying bleeding tendencies in patients carrying the same variant in the SP.
