OBJECTIVES: Hemophilia B has been known to result from more than 500 kinds of mutations. And it is difficult to find out a mutation specific for each family. Therefore, linkage analysis of DNA polymorphism within or near the factor IX gene has been frequently used in the clinical practice for molecular genetic diagnosis of hemophilia B. But the ethnic variation makes more difficult to apply useful markers in Caucasian population. To investigate the usefulness of the MseI and HhaI polymorphism in Korean population, we analysed the MseI and HhaI polymorphism. METHODS: Forty-five normal Korean and thirteen parents of the hemophilia B patients, using PCR and restriction enzyme analysis. RESULTS: The heterozygosity rate of MseI polymorphism was 49.7% and that of HhaI polymorphism was 25.5%. CONCLUSION: These data indicated that PCR-based analysis of MseI and HhaI polymorphism of factor IX was useful in molecular genetic diagnosis of hemophilia B in Korean population.

The anterior fusion became the popular measure in the treatment of the tuberculosis of the spine. We analysed the 208 cases of the tuberculosis of the spine (174 anterior fusion) who were treated at our department during the period of 1966 to 1973 and compared these results with that obtained during the period of 1957 to 1966. Following has been observed from this comparison. 1. Spine was the most common site in bone and joint tuberculosis (51.7%) but with decreasing tendency. And it was followed by hip, knee, ankle and sacroiliac joints of order. 2. Common age incidence was below 30 years (72.7%) and most common in below 5 years (20.7%). 3. Average duration of disease was 2 years and 2 months. This value was 6 months lower than in previous study. 4. The most common site was changed from lumbar to thoracic vertebrae. 5. The incidence of sinus, cold abscess formation decreased but paraplegia increased in incedence due to high prevalence in thoracic vertebrae. 6. Anterior fusion was performed in 86.1% of the cases. 7. Postoperative complications was found in 17.2%. Adequate rnanagement of chest tube in thoracic areas and blood vessels in lumbosacral areas may be necessary.
