A novel family with recessive von Willebrand disease due to compound heterozygosity for a splice site mutation and a missense mutation in the von Willebrand factor gene.

Abstract excerpt

We report a new family with autosomal recessive von Willebrand disease (VWD) in which the propositus was compound heterozygous for a missense mutation in exon 42 (G7085T, C2362F) and a C-->A splice site mutation in intron 13 of the von Willebrand factor (VWF) gene. The propositus had factor VIII:C approximately equal to 20 IU/dl, VWF antigen 5-7 IU/dl and ristocetin cofactor activity <3-7 IU/dl. The bleeding time...
