Abstract excerpt
We report the case of a family with type I von Willebrand disease (vWD), characterized by a quantitative defect in von Willebrand factor (vWF), associated with a defective binding of vWF to factor VIII (FVIII) also called the "Normandy" variant of vWD. PCR products from genomic DNA of the family...
