12 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
Background Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopaenic purpura (TTP) or Upshaw–Schulman syndrome (USS) is a rare, life-threatening, inherited thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). USS is mostly due to bi-allelic recessive sequence variations of the a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 repeats, member 13 (ADAMTS13) gene inducing a severe ADAMTS13 deficiency (activity < 10 IU/dL). In healthy...
