Abstract excerpt
Type 2N is a rare von Willebrand disease (VWD) variant involving an impairment in the factor VIII (FVIII) carrier function of von Willebrand factor (VWF). It has a phenotype that mimics hemophilia A, and FVIII binding to VWF (VWF:FVIIIB) is tested to differentiate between the two disorders. Type 2N VWF defects may also be associated with quantitative VWF mutations (type 2N/type 1), further complicating the...
