Abstract excerpt
Type 2B von Willebrand disease (VWD) is an inherited bleeding disorder in which a subset of point mutations in the von Willebrand factor (VWF) A1 domain and recently identified autoinhibitory module (AIM) cause spontaneous binding to glycoprotein Ibα (GPIbα) on the platelet surface. All reported type 2B VWD mutations share this enhanced binding; however, type 2B VWD manifests as variable bleeding complications...
