Abstract excerpt
Cysteines play a key part in von Willebrand factor (VWF) dimerisation and polymerisation, and their loss may severely affect VWF structure and function. We report on three patients with type 3 von Willebrand disease carrying the new c.1751G>T missense mutation that induces the substitution of cysteine 584 by phenylalanine (C584F), and the deletion of seven nucleotides in exon 7 (c.729_735del), producing a...
