Abstract excerpt
Reports of families with members affected with both von Willebrand disease (vWD) and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) suggest a possible relationship between these two disorders. vWD, the most common inherited bleeding disorder in humans, is due to either a quantitative or qualitative defect in von Willebrand factor (vWF). The gene for vWF has been cloned and mapped to chromosome 12 (12p12----12pter)....
