Hereditary Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Genes, 2023
Hereditary thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (hTTP), also known as Upshaw–Schulman syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the ADAMTS13 gene that leads to decreased or absent production of the plasma von Willebrand factor (VWF)-cleaving metalloprotease ADAMTS13. The result is circulating ultra-large multimers of VWF that can cause
