Abstract excerpt
Many variants of von Willebrand disease (vWD) with qualitatively abnormal von Willebrand factor (vWF) are recognized. In vWD type IIB, the abnormal protein displays enhanced affinity for a platelet vWF receptor, the glycoprotein Ib-IX complex. 14 patients from 7 unrelated families with vWD type IIB were studied to determine the molecular basis for this phenotype. Specific oligonucleotide primers were used to...
