Abstract excerpt
We describe the complex picture associated with a mutated splice junction in intron 13 of von Willebrand factor (VWF) gene. The proband, characterized by a marked decrease in plasma and platelet VWF and near normal multimer organization, was classified as recessive type 1 von Willebrand disease (VWD). Genetic analysis demonstrated that he was homozygous for the 1534-3C > A mutation in the consensus sequence of...
