Gene: VWF

Variant:

2269delCT (FS), Exon 17

7729+7C→T (intronic), Exon 45

Compound Heterozygous

Note: Article assumes that 7729+7C→T would be a frameshift mutation. No potential splice site mutation was confirmed at the mRNA level; “Splice Site Prediction program” found all mutations likely to disrupt normal splicing. No possible splice site mutation could be identified on 100 chromosomes from a group of 50 normal subjects with same genetic background as patients, excluding the possibility that these mutations represent common polymorphisms.

Variant:

c.7729+7C>T (p.Glu2577GlyfsX21), Intron 45

Compound Heterozygous

Note: patient also has homozygous deletion of 40 bp (NP_000543.2, where 1 is adenine in ATG initiation codon) due to the skipping of exon 50; c.7729+7C>T resulted in altering the normal mRNA splicing process
