Faktor IX Deficiency | Haemophilia B (F9 Rhodesian Ridgeback)
Factor IX deficiency or haemophilia B (F9 deficiency) is a blood coagulation disorder. Factor 9 is a glycoprotein and plays an important role in the signalling cascade of blood clotting. When the disease occurs, there is a deficiency of factor 9, which causes the affected animals to show symptoms such as intense and prolonged bleeding when injured (e.g. also after surgery).
This genetic variant of the disease occurs in the Rhodesian Ridgeback. The disease is inherited in an X-linked recessive manner.

Frame Overo (Coat colour pattern Horse)
With Frame Overo Spotting, the horse has a distinct, horizontal orientation of white patches and a coloured back. The pattern is very variable in appearance, sometimes with very little or no white. Often there is a blaze with more white in the forehead region. Blue eyes and a coloured upper lip are also possible. The term "frame" indicates that the white patches usually do not exceed the back when viewed from the side.
Horses with one copy (O/n) show the spotting. Horses with two copies of the mutation (O/O) are affected by OLWS (Overo Lethal White Syndrome) and die within a few days after birth due to constipation colic.
