Abstract excerpt
Type IIA and IIB von Willebrand disease (vWD) result from defects in von Willebrand factor (vWF). Although both type IIA and IIB vWD are characterized by the absence of high molecular weight multimers in plasma, vWF from patients with type IIA vWD demonstrates a decreased affinity for the platelet receptor glycoprotein Ib (GPIb), whereas vWF from patients with type IIB vWD show an increased affinity for GPIb. To...
