Question
There are reports of more than 100 mutations at different sites of Factor IX that manifests Haemophilia B. This is an example of:
Explanation
In biochemistry, enzyme catalysis and lipid structure dictates that substrate affinity, transition state stabilization and phospholipid composition govern function. Therefore allelic heterogeneity is correct as it reflects catalytic efficiency and membrane organization, supported by mechanistic studies and conserved across related systems.
