BACKGROUND: von Willebrand factor (VWF) levels in healthy individuals are influenced by variations in genetic loci other than the VWF gene, whose contribution to VWF levels in patients with von Willebrand disease (VWD) is largely unknown. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), VWF levels, and bleeding phenotype. PATIENTS/METHODS: In 364 type 1 VWD and 240 type 2...
