Abstract excerpt
A 23-year-old Chinese woman with severe von Willebrand factor (VWF) deficiency and her parents were investigated by PCR/direct sequencing of the VWF gene. The patient was found to be compound heterozygous for two novel null mutations. The first was a microinsertion in exon 8 (1203insG) that introduced a frameshift at codon 298 leading to premature translational termination at codon 302. The second was a C to A...
