[edit] Query one name in article

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)

Agreed, the only mention I can find of it refers to that name in passing as a "joke" (e.g, [1], [2]). 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)
