Characterization of coding synonymous and non-synonymous variants in ADAMTS13 using ex vivo and in silico approaches. [PDF]
Synonymous variations, which are defined as codon substitutions that do not change the encoded amino acid, were previously thought to have no effect on the properties of the synthesized protein(s).

Von Willebrand factor, ADAMTS13 and mortality in dialysis patients
Background Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) multimers are cleaved into smaller and less coagulant forms by the metalloprotease ADAMTS13. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between VWF and ADAMTS13 and mortality in dialysis patients ...

How I treat thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome [PDF]
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS) are acute, rare life-threatening thrombotic microangiopathies that require rapid diagnosis and treatment.

AbstractSevere deficiency of ADAMTS13, a von Willebrand factor (VWF)–cleaving metalloprotease, causes thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. When analyzed with VWF multimers, but not with an abbreviated VWF peptide (VWF73) as the substrate, the plasma ADAMTS13 activity levels of mouse strains segregated into a high and a low group that differed by ...

Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Modeling of Platelet Responses to Recombinant ADAMTS13 in Patients With Congenital Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP) is an ultra‐rare, life‐threatening thrombotic microangiopathy caused by a severe inherited deficiency of ADAMTS13, a von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving enzyme. Inadequate clinical endpoint data often make it challenging to statistically power clinical trials in ultra‐rare diseases ...

Pathogenicity of anti-ADAMTS13 autoantibodies in acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is an autoimmune disease in which anti-ADAMTS13 autoantibodies cause severe enzyme deficiency.

Deficiency of complement factor H-related proteins and autoantibody-positive hemolytic uremic syndrome in an infant with combined partial deficiencies and autoantibodies to complement factor H and ADAMTS13 [PDF]
A 3-month-old male infant developed an extremely severe episode of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) associated with partial deficiencies of full-length complement factor H (FH; ∼15% of infant normal) and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13 (ADAMTS13) (39% of normal) and autoantibodies reactive with

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.

Three disintegrin-like domain mutations of ADAMTS13: functional deficiency and association with thrombosis [PDF]
Objective To analyze the genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of four thrombotic patients carrying heterozygous mutations in the disintegrin-like domain of ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motifs 13), and to ...
