In type 2N von Willebrand disease (vWD), von Willebrand factor (vWF) is characterized by normal multimeric pattern, normal platelet-dependent function, but a markedly decreased affinity for factor VIII (FVIII). In this report, we describe the case of a vWD patient who has an abnormal vWF multimers distribution associated with a markedly decreased vWF ability to bind FVIII. Sequencing analysis of patient's vWF...
