Multimeric pattern discrepancy between platelet and plasma von Willebrand factor in type IIC von Willebrand disease. 1986

J Batlle, and M F López Fernández, and A Fernández Villamor, and C López Berges, and T S Zimmerman

von Willebrand factor (vWF) from platelet lysate and plasma, collected in the presence of protease inhibitors, was studied in two patients with type IIC von Willebrand disease (vWD). Platelet and plasma vWF showed the smallest multimer increased, but the latter had a repeating single band whereas the former had a repeating "doublet." This platelet-plasma discrepancy observed for the first time in these patients suggests that the repeating "doublet" or single band described in other type IIC patients represent minor subgroups of type IIC vWD.

D014841 von Willebrand Factor A high-molecular-weight plasma protein, produced by endothelial cells and megakaryocytes, that is part of the factor VIII/von Willebrand factor complex. The von Willebrand factor has receptors for collagen, platelets, and ristocetin activity as well as the immunologically distinct antigenic determinants. It functions in adhesion of platelets to collagen and hemostatic plug formation. The prolonged bleeding time in VON WILLEBRAND DISEASES is due to the deficiency of this factor.

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.
