Abstract excerpt
To maintain hemostasis under shear conditions, there must be an interaction between the platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX receptor and the plasma ligand von Willebrand factor (vWf). In platelet-type von Willebrand disease (Pt-vWD), hemostasis is compromised. Two mutations in the GPIbalpha polypeptide chain have been identified in these patients-a glycine-233 to valine change and a methionine-239 to valine change....
