Predictive features of severe acquired ADAMTS13 deficiency in idiopathic thrombotic microangiopathies: the French TMA reference center experience. [PDF]
Severe ADAMTS13 deficiency occurs in 13% to 75% of thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA). In this context, the early identification of a severe, antibody-mediated, ADAMTS13 deficiency may allow to start targeted therapies such as B-lymphocytes-depleting ...

Increased plasma von Willebrand factor antigen levels but normal von Willebrand factor cleaving protease (ADAMTS13) activity in preeclampsia. [PDF]
The activity of ADAMTS13, the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease is low in several conditions, including HELLP (haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count) syndrome.

Key Points ADAMTS13 sSNVs affect mRNA thermodynamic stability and may disturb mRNA-splicing sites. Synonymous variations may affect ADAMTS13 function and contribute to large variability in protein expression levels in healthy individuals.

Association between ADAMTS13 deficiency and cardiovascular events in chronic hemodialysis patients
A mild decrease of ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospodin type 1 motif 13) could attribute to stroke and coronary heart disease in general population.

Infection frequently triggers thrombotic microangiopathy in patients with preexisting risk factors : a single-institution experience [PDF]
Thrombotic microangiopathies are rare conditions characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, microthrombi, and multiorgan insult. The disorders, which include hemolytic uremic syndrome and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, are often acute and ...

Background The mechanisms behind residual platelet reactivity (RPR) despite aspirin treatment are not established. It has been shown that coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with high on-aspirin RPR have elevated levels of von Willebrand factor (vWF).

Perinatal Gene Transfer to the Liver [PDF]
The liver acts as a host to many functions hence raising the possibility that any one may be compromised by a single gene defect. Inherited or de novo mutations in these genes may result in relatively mild diseases or be so devastating that death within

The ADAMTS13‐von Willebrand factor axis in COVID‐19 patients
Severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) is characterized by an increased risk of thromboembolic events, with evidence of microthrombosis in the lungs of deceased patients.

Platelet recruitment to sites of vascular injury is mediated by von Willebrand factor (VWF). The shear-induced unraveling of ultra-large VWF multimers causes the formation of a “stringlike” conformation, which rapidly recruits platelets from the ...

Signalment risk factors for cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (Alabama rot) in dogs in the UK [PDF]
Seasonal outbreaks of cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV) have been reported annually in UK dogs since 2012, yet the aetiology of the disease remains unknown. The objectives of this study were to explore whether any breeds had an increased
