Abstract excerpt
The normal von Willebrand factor (vWF) multimer pattern results from the ADAMTS-13 cleavage of the Tyr 1605-Met 1606 bond in the A2 domain of vWF. We identified a patient with severe von Willebrand disease (vWD) homozygously carrying a Cys to Phe mutation in position 2362 of vWF with markedly altered vWF multimers and an abnormal proteolytic pattern. The proband's phenotype was characterized by a marked drop in...
