[Von Willebrand-Jürgens syndrome with a variant of factor VIII-associated antigen]. 1976

A family is described in which 5 out of 8 children had a marked bleeding disorder. The children showed prolonged bleeding times, abnormal platelet retention upon passage of blood through a glass bead column, the Willebrand factor activity as measured by ristocetin in a washed platelet system was low. Factor VIII/von Willebrand factor protein levels were normal even so the factor VIII-procoagulant activity. Even the parents and one child without any bleeding tendency and normal bleeding times had a reduced Willebrand factor activity. In all these patients evidence of an abnormal protein was observed on crossed antigen-antibody electrophoresis indicating a qualitative defect of the factor VIII/von Willebrand factor protein.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007122 Immunoelectrophoresis A technique that combines protein electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. In this procedure proteins are first separated by gel electrophoresis (usually agarose), then made visible by immunodiffusion of specific antibodies. A distinct elliptical precipitin arc results for each protein detectable by the antisera.

D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D005169 Factor VIII Factor VIII of blood coagulation. Antihemophilic factor that is part of the factor VIII/von Willebrand factor complex. Factor VIII is produced in the liver and acts in the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. It serves as a cofactor in factor X activation and this action is markedly enhanced by small amounts of thrombin.

D014842 von Willebrand Diseases Group of hemorrhagic disorders in which the VON WILLEBRAND FACTOR is either quantitatively or qualitatively abnormal. They are usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait though rare kindreds are autosomal recessive. Symptoms vary depending on severity and disease type but may include prolonged bleeding time, deficiency of factor VIII, and impaired platelet adhesion.
