Individualizing dosing frequency may improve the efficacy of prophylaxis in patients with von Willebrand disease—a WIL-31 subanalysis [PDF]

open access: yesResearch and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis
Background: The efficacy and safety of prophylaxis with wilate, a plasma-derived von Willebrand factor/factor VIII concentrate, was demonstrated in patients with von Willebrand disease of all types in the WIL-31 study.

Evaluation of a new semi-automated Hydragel 11 von Willebrand factor multimers assay kit for routine use [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Medical Biochemistry, 2021
Background: Accurate diagnosis and classification of von Willebrand disease (VWD) are essential for optimal management. The von Willebrand factor multimers analysis (VWF:MM) is an integral part of the diagnostic process in the phenotypic classification ...

VON WILLEBRAND DISEASE [PDF]

open access: yesRomanian Journal of Pediatrics, 2009
Described by Erik Adolf von Willebrand in 1926, it is a constitutional hemorrhagic disease, inherited in the autosomal mode. Considered initially as a thrombopathic disease, then as a prologation of the bleeding time associated to a defi cit in the ...

von Willebrand factor activity and activated partial thromboplastin time as proxy biomarkers for coagulopathies in women with menorrhagia in Zambia: a case-control study

open access: yesThe Pan African Medical Journal, 2021
INTRODUCTION: von Willebrand Disease (vWD) is the most prevalent bleeding disorder. Women are more likely to manifest abnormal bleeding symptoms due to physiologic events and menorrhagia is the most common presenting symptom.

Hemostatic factors and risk of coronary heart disease in general populations: new prospective study and updated meta-analyses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
<p>Background: Activation of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis may be associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease. We aimed to assess associations of circulating tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) antigen, D-dimer and von Willebrand ...

Cryptic non-canonical splice site activation is part of the mechanism that abolishes multimer organization in the c.2269_2270del von Willebrand factor

open access: yesHaematologica, 2020
We report a new pathogenic mechanism in von Willebrand disease involving the use of a non-canonical splicing site. The proband, carrying the homozygous c.2269_2270del mutation previously classified as a type 3 mutation, showed severely reduced plasma and

Von Willebrand Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Von Willebrand Disease (VWD) is a blood clotting disorder characterized by low levels of the Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) in the blood. VWF is functions to bind platelets and promote clotting of the blood when vascular injury occurs.

An apparently silent nucleotide substitution (c.7056C>T) in the von Willebrand factor gene is responsible for type 1 von Willebrand disease

open access: yesHaematologica, 2011
Background Nucleotide variations not changing protein sequences are considered silent mutations; accumulating data suggest that they can, however, be important in human diseases.Design and Methods We report an altered splicing process induced by a silent

Diagnosis of von Willebrand disease in Argentina: a single institution experience [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common autosomal bleeding disorder, mostlyinherited as dominant trait. VWD is due to deficiency/abnormality of von Willebrand factor (VWF).
