Abstract excerpt
COVID-19 associated coagulopathy (CAC), characterized by endothelial dysfunction and hypercoagulability, evokes pulmonary immunothrombosis in advanced COVID-19 cases. Elevated von Willebrand factor (vWF) levels and reduced activities of the ADAMTS13 protease are common in CAC. Here, we aimed to determine whether common genetic variants of these proteins might be associated with COVID-19 severity and hemostatic...
