von Willebrand's disease [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Haematology, 1975
The common inheritable hemorrhagic disorder, von Willebrand's disease, has been known for only about 50 yr. During these years it has been well established that the cause of the disease is a deficiency of a plasma protein with remarkable biological properties. Future research should focus on details of the molecular structure of this protein.

Von Willebrand disease: What does the future hold?

open access: yesBlood, 2021
Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is characterized by its heterogeneous clinical manifestation, which complicates its diagnosis and management. The clinical management of VWD has remained essentially unchanged over the last 30 years or so, using von ...

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 ...

Elevated von Willebrand factor levels during heavy menstrual bleeding episodes limit the diagnostic utility for von Willebrand disease

open access: yesResearch and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2021
Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is often the first bleeding symptom for female individuals with inherited bleeding disorders. Guidelines recommend performing the hemostatic evaluation at HMB presentation.

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.

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

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
