BACKGROUND: von Willebrand disease (VWD) type 2 is associated with mutations in von Willebrand factor (VWF) that affect its secretion, multimeric pattern, affinity for platelet receptors and clearance of the protein. While increased proteolysis by a disintegrin-like and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 motifs-13 (ADAMTS-13) has been clearly established for VWF type 2A, only little is known about VWF...
