Abstract excerpt
Sequence analysis of the ADAMTS13 locus of 2 patients with hereditary thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) revealed the homozygous presence of 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (R7W, Q448E, P618A, A732V) and a rare missense mutation (R1336W). Analysis of the individual effect of any amino acid exchanges showed that several sequence variations can interact with each other, thereby altering the...
