Population-based prevalence and mutational landscape of von Willebrand disease using large-scale genetic databases

Abstract excerpt

Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is a common bleeding disorder caused by mutations in the von Willebrand factor gene (VWF). The true global prevalence of VWD has not been accurately established. We estimated the worldwide and within-population prevalence of inherited VWD by analyzing exome and genome data of 141,456 individuals gathered by the genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). We also extended our data deepening...
