[From gene to disease; from mutations in the Von Willebrand factor gene to hemorrhagic diathesis and thrombocytopenia].

Abstract excerpt

The broad spectrum of both clinical presentation and severity of bleeding complications observed in Von Willebrand's disease is the result of a high number of mutations. Most are clustered in specific functional domains, leading to quantitative (types 1 and 3) or qualitative (types 2: A, B, M and N or Normandy) defects in the Von Willebrand factor (VWF) protein. Unlike all the other subtypes, type 2B is the...
