von Willebrand disease.

von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder. The disorder is characterized by excessive mucocutaneous bleeding. The most common bleeding manifestations of this condition include nosebleeds, bruising, bleeding from minor wounds, menorrhagia or postpartum bleeding in women as well as bleeding after surgery.

Type 3 von Willebrand disease (VWD), the most severe form of VWD, is an inherited recessive bleeding disorder caused by the complete deficiency of von Willebrand factor (VWF). The reported prevalence is 1 per million but varies worldwide according to the frequency of consanguineous marriages. The clinical phenotype is characterized not only by mucocutaneous bleedings, but also by hemarthroses and muscle hematoma, as in patients with moderate hemophilia.

Application of genetic testing for the diagnosis of von Willebrand disease.

von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most frequent inherited bleeding disorder, with an estimated symptomatic prevalence of 1 per 1000 in the general population. VWD is characterized by defects in the quantity, quality, or multimeric structure of von Willebrand factor (VWF), a glycoprotein being hemostatically essential in circulation. VWD is classified into 3 principal types: low VWF/type 1 with partial quantitative deficiency of VWF, type 3 with virtual absence of VWF, and type 2 with functional abnormalities of VWF, being classified as 2A, 2B, 2M, and 2N.
