Biology of inherited coagulopathies: von Willebrand factor.

Abstract excerpt

von Willebrand disease is a common inherited bleeding disorder due to qualitative or quantitative abnormalities in von Willebrand factor. This article reviews the progress that has been made over the past few years in defining the molecular basis of von Willebrand disease. It should soon be possible to precisely diagnose and classify many cases of von Willebrand disease using modern genetic techniques.
