Abstract excerpt
Genetic studies were performed in two unrelated patients with the IIC phenotype of von Willebrand disease (vWD) characterized by the increased concentration of the protomeric form of von Willebrand factor (vWF). In patient B, the sequencing of both exons 15 and 16 of the vWF gene showed two sequence alterations: a 3-bp insertion in exon 15 resulting in the insertion of a Glycine at position 625 (625insGly) and a...
