Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Type 2M von Willebrand disease (VWD) results from mutations in the A1 domain of von Willebrand factor (VWF) that reduce its platelet-binding function. However, currently employed VWF functional static assays may not distinguish between clinical phenotype. METHODS: Fifteen individuals from five kindreds with VWF-A1 domain mutations I1416T or I1416N, correlated with mild and moderate clinical...
