Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed a type IIB and a type I von Willebrand disease family for the presence of mutations in the region coding for the glycoprotein Ib binding domain of the von Willebrand factor. Since this sequence is also present in the highly homologous von Willebrand factor pseudogene, we have studied genomic DNA as well as cDNA, which was produced from RNA isolated from endothelial cells or platelets. In both...
