Analysis of Arg834Gln and Va1902Glu Type 2A von Willebrand Disease Mutations. Studies With Recombinant von Willebrand Factor and Correlation With Patient Characteristics

چکیده
Type 2A von Willebrand disease (vWD), the most common qualitative form of vWD, is characterized by a relative decrease in circulating intermediate and high molecular weight (HMW) multimers. We studied the biosynthesis of recombinant von Willebrand factor (vWF) containing each of two type 2A vWD mutations previously reported by us, Arg834Gln and Va1902Glu. The structure of recombinant Arg834Gln vWF within transfected COS-7 cells and the secretion of HMW multimers were similar to wild type vWF. The normal transport and secretion of Arg834Gln vWF, categorizes it as a group II type 2A mutation. In contrast, the Va190-

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 کاملThe role of exon 45 and 16 in the pathogenesis of Von Willebrand disease in Iranian Patients
Abstract Background Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is an autosomal recessive congenital bleeding disorder with deficiency or dysfunction of von Willebrand factor (VWF). The gene encoding for the VWF is located on chromosome 12, which is 178 Kb with 52 exons. Various mutations of this gene is responsible for the clinical features of VWD, but some single nucleotide polymorphisms make the molecu...
متن کاملExpression and characterization of von Willebrand factor dimerization defects in different types of von Willebrand disease.
Dimerization defects of von Willebrand factor (vWF) protomers underlie von Willebrand disease (vWD) type 2A, subtype IID (vWD 2A/IID), and corresponding mutations have been identified at the 3' end of the vWF gene in exon 52. This study identified and expressed 2 additional mutations in this region, a homozygous defect in a patient with vWD type 3 (C2754W) and a heterozygous frameshift mutation...
متن کاملMultiple Sclerosis Diagnosed in a Woman With Von-Willebrand Disease: A Case Report
Background: Von-Willebrand Disease (VWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder with an autosomal inheritance pattern. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease, causing neurodegeneration and demyelination of the central nervous system through autoimmune mechanisms, and is a major cause of non-traumatic disabilities in youths. Some studies have shown the higher plasma activity o...
