Substitution of Val for Met at residue 239 of platelet glycoprotein Ib alpha in Japanese patients with platelet-type von Willebrand disease
1 Feb 1995
Abstract excerpt
Genomic DNA was studied from four patients with platelet-type von Willebrand disease (vWD) from two Japanese families previously reported. The entire coding region of platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib alpha, a component of the platelet receptor for von Willebrand factor (vWF), was examined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by direct DNA sequence analysis. A single point mutation was found in all patients...
