Abstract excerpt
We report on a new mutation (4337T-->C) in exon 28 of the von Willebrand factor (VWF) gene, resulting in a substitution of L with P at residue 1446 (L1446P) of pre-pro-VWF. The defect is transmitted as a dominant trait and induces a reduced VWF synthesis, an abnormal VWF multimer pattern and a de...
