Novel ADAMTS13 mutations in a patient with congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.

Abstract excerpt

Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by mutations in the ADAMTS13 gene. Approximately 200 mutations of the ADAMTS-13 gene have been identified, although only a few have been characterized through in vitro expression studies. We conducted an investigation on a male congenital TTP patient with reduced plasma levels of ADAMTS13 activity. DNA...
