A practical approach to genetic testing for von Willebrand disease.

Abstract excerpt

von Willebrand disease (vWD) is the most commonly diagnosed congenital bleeding disorder. The laboratory diagnosis of type 2 variants and type 3 vWD is reasonably well defined, and characterization of the von Willebrand factor (vWF) gene has facilitated definition of their molecular basis. However, for type 1 vWD, the laboratory diagnosis poses a diagnostic dilemma, and knowledge of its molecular basis is...
