I have not heard anyone in medical use call the factor "Christmas eve ",. Could the author recheck or cite a reference. 24.21.100.91 (talk) 21:55, 21 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Agreed, the only mention I can find of it refers to that name in passing as a "joke" (e.g, , ). No mention of it in OMIM or Pubmed. I made the change. However, I'm not an expert in coagulation factors, so feel free to bring it back with a reference... AndrewGNF (talk) 22:24, 21 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Why does "nonacog alfa" redirect here?

'Christman disease', 'Christmas mutation', 'Christmas factor', etc

Catchphrases like 'Christman disease', 'Christmas mutation', 'Christmas factor' were used ad nauseam' in reference to a 1950's source.

Unfamiliar with the eponym and confused by weasel words, it took me a while to realise this refers to haemophilia.

I made an edit to adopt the specific terminology used in other (linked) Wikipedia articles.

A tea-leaf reading of Google Trends supports this judgement: https://trends.google.com/explore?q=Christmas%2520disease%2Chaemophilia%2520B%252C&date=2004-01-01%202026-01-01&geo=Worldwide ~2026-49446-6 (talk) 07:49, 23 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
