Abstract excerpt
We studied the proteolytic pattern of the mutant von Willebrand factor (VWF) in four patients with von Willebrand disease (VWD) who were either homozygous or hemizygous for the mutation C2362F. A significant decrease in the native fragment of 225 kDa was evident in all the patients, together with a marked increase in the 176 and 140 kDa fragments, a pattern usually observed in type 2A VWD. The proteolytic pattern...
