Abstract excerpt
Type 2 vWD is defined by qualitative defects of vWF and is subdivided into four subtypes: 2N, 2B, 2A and 2M. The characterization of 150 unrelated French cases with type 2 vWD emphasizes the heterogeneity of this group. In 51 cases of type 2N vWD, new mutations were found not only in the D' domain (Cys25Tyr and Cys95Phe) but also in the D3 domain (Asp116Asn and Cys297Arg). In 42 cases of type 2B vWD, no new...
