This report examines the genetic basis of a variant form of moderately severe von Willebrand disease (vWD) characterized by low plasma von Willebrand factor antigen (vWF:Ag) levels and normal multimerization, typical of type 1 vWD, but disproportionately-low agonist-mediated platelet-binding acti...
