The genetic basis of von Willebrand disease.
The common autosomally inherited mucocutaneous bleeding disorder, von Willebrand disease (VWD) results from quantitative or qualitative defects in plasma von Willebrand factor (VWF). Mutation can affect VWF quantity or its functions mediating platelet adhesion and aggregation at sites of vascular damage and carrying pro-coagulant factor VIII (FVIII). Phenotype and genotype analysis in patients ...
متن کاملHemophilia and von Willebrand's disease: genetic considerations.
Recent progress in the biochemical characterization of coagulation factors VIII and IX has greatly contributed to our understanding of the inheritance of hemophilia and von Willebrand's disease and facilitated the recognition of carriers of these disorders. Factor VIII is a molecular complex which may be quantitated immunologically as factor VIII-related antigen. Within this complex reside the ...
متن کاملVon Hippel-Lindau disease: a genetic study.
Genetic aspects of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease were studied in familial and isolated cases. Complex segregation analysis with pointers was performed in 38 kindreds with two or more affected members. Dominant inheritance with almost complete penetrance in the highest age classes (0.96 at 51 to 60 and 0.99 at 61 to 70 years) was confirmed and there was no evidence of heterogeneity between fam...
متن کاملGenetic Variations in Exon 3 of VWF Gene in Patients with Von Willebrand Disease (VWD) from South-West Iran
Abstract Background Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is an autosomally inherited bleeding disorder with the prevalence of 1% based on population studies. The disease phenotype is due to quantitative and structural/functional defects in Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) which is a glycoprotein with essential role as a carrier of FVIII in circulation and also it serves the function as hemostasis regulato...
متن کاملSerial studies in von Willebrand's disease: variability versus "variants".
The variability of laboratory findings in von Willebrand's disease (vWd) was evaluated by performing serial studies of bleeding time (BT), factor VIII coagulant activity (VIII:C), factor-VIII-related antigen (VIIIR:Ag) and ristocetin cofactor (VIIIR:Rcof) in 50 individuals from 25 families with this disorder. The types of results were characterized from 1 to 16 based on the possible combination...
