Abstract excerpt
Type 2N von Willebrand disease (VWD) is characterized by a markedly decreased affinity of von Willebrand factor (VWF) for factorVIII (FVIII) and is caused by mutations in the D' or D3 domain of mature VWF. We now report a French patient with an atypical 2N VWD phenotype associating FVIII deficiency with plasmaVWF unable to bind FVIII (undetectableVWF:FVIIIB) but with an abnormal multimeric profile. This patient...
