Abstract excerpt
The genetic defects causing recessive type 1 and type 3 von Willebrand disease (VWD) in eight families from the northern part of Italy have been investigated. Mutations were identified in 14 of the 16 disease-associated von Willebrand factor (VWF) genes. Only one mutation, a stop codon in exon 45, was previously reported. Several new mutations were identified: one cytosine insertion in exon 42, one guanine...
