Molecular characterization of ADAMTS13 gene mutations in Japanese patients with Upshaw-Schulman syndrome
21 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
We report here 7 new mutations in the ADAMTS13 gene responsible for Upshaw-Schulman syndrome (USS), a catastrophic phenotype of congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, by analyzing 5 Japanese families. There were 3 mutations that occurred at exon-intron boundaries: 414+1G>A at intron 4, 686+1G>A at intron 6, and 1244+2T>G at intron 10 (numbered from the A of the initiation Met codon), and we confirmed...
