Abstract excerpt
von Willebrand Factor (VWF) is a large multimeric glycoprotein involved in the transport and protection of factor VIII and in mediating platelet-subendothelium and platelet-platelet interactions. We have documented the presence of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at nucleotide (nt) -1793 (G 0.36 or C 0.64) in the VWF 5'-flanking sequence. This polymorphism is in strong linkage disequilibrium with the...
