Abstract

von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder. Few studies have explored the molecular basis of type 2 VWD. This study aimed to identify variants associated with type 2 VWD. We collected clinical and laboratory data, as well as response to desmopressin and bleeding assessment tool (BAT) score in patients diagnosed with type 2 VWD. We sequenced exons 17, 18, 20 and 28 of the VWF gene. We identified 19 different variants in 40 unrelated patients (47.5%). Most of the variants (84.2%) were found in exon 28. A total of 10/19 variants (52.6%) were identified as "likely causative" in 17/40 patients (42.5%), according to the ISTH-SSC and EAHAD VWF gene mutations databases. Nine variants were initially identified as potentially benign. However, through analyses in silico, four of these variants were reclassified as "likely pathogenic" (Ile1380Val, Asn1435Ser, Ser1486Leu and Tyr1584Cys). Response to desmopressin was associated with three variants: Met740Ile, Arg1597Gln and Tyr1584Cys. Major bleeding was associated with variants related to VWD subtypes 2B and 2M. In conclusion, we identified 19 variants, of which 14 are "likely pathogenic" and therefore associated with VWD. We suggest a possible association o...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
