The proposita (2D) in family 2
Case#: 2D
DiseaseAssertion:
FamilyInfo: Her son 2E had mild bruising and epistaxis.
CaseHPOFreeText: The proposita (2D) in family 2 was investigated after a postpartum hemorrhage requiring blood transfusion. She gave a longstanding history of menorrhagia, and her calculated bleeding score was 10, the highest of all the persons in this study. VWF:Ag, VWF:RCo, and multimer analysis were all normal. VWF:CB was significantly reduced with both types I and III collagen, resulting in CB:Ag ratios of 0.2 to 0.4. Closure times in the PFA-100 were normal in 2D with both cassettes (Coll/Epi, 111 seconds; Coll/ADP, 98 seconds). The discrepant reduction in VWF:CB persisted after DDAVP administration to 2D despite normalization of both VWF:Ag and VWF:CB (samples taken 90 minutes after DDAVP administration showed VWF:Ag 191 IU/dL, VWF:CB 67 IU/dL, CB:Ag ratio = 0.35).
CasePreviousTesting: Fifty-one primer sets were used to amplify the essential regions of VWF (52 exons, flanking intronic regions, 5′ promoter region, and the 3′ untranslated region).
Gene: VWF
Variant: Her and son were shown to be heterozygous for a novel mutation in exon 31:c.5347 T → G resulting in Ser1783Ala
HGVS: NM_000552.5(VWF):c.5347T>G (p.Ser1783Ala)
