Factor IX is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease, which exists as a zymogen in the blood. On activation to factor IXa, by factor XIa or tissue factor factor VIIa complex, it forms tenase complex with factor VIIIa, in the presence of $Ca^{\mathrm{2+}}$. This tenase complex enzymatically converts factor X to factor Xa, thereby bringing about the coagulation cascade. Mutations in factor IX gene have been shown to cause haemophilia B, which is inherited as an X-linked recessive disorder. Herein we report a novel missense mutation at the nucleotide position 30829-T > A in the exon 8 of factor IX gene. This transversion leads to the substitution of histidine 236 to glutamine. This resulting abnormal protein has been named factor $IX_{Delhi}$. Molecular modelling was performed to predict the molecular pathology of this mutation. We predict that this change in the catalytic domain may affect the surface loop that accommodates $Ca^{\mathrm{2+}}$, thereby leading to severe bleeding disorder.
