Type 2B von Willebrand's disease (VWD) is due to a qualitative defect in von Willebrand factor (VWF) in which there is an increased affinity for the platelet glycoprotein Ib-IX-V receptor complex. Spontaneous binding of type 2B VWF to platelets and subsequent clearance from the plasma is thought to
## Abstract Diagnosis of von Willebrand disease (vWD) is based on a panel of laboratory tests that measure the amount and function of von Willebrand factor (vWF). In population studies, vWF is higher in African Americans than Caucasians. Bleeding time, factor VIII activity (FVIII), vWF antigen (vWF
## Diagnosis of von Willebrand disease Type 2N (vWD 2N ), which mimics hemophilia A and its carrier state, is important for accurate genetic counseling and appropriate therapy. To make testing for the disorder more clinically applicable, we developed a simplified method for measurement of factor V
## Abstract Early onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD) has been associated with mutations in the __Parkin__, __DJโ1, PINK1, LRRK2,__ and __SNCA__ genes. The aim of this study is to assess the contribution of these genes in a Dutch EOPD cohort and the phenotypic characteristics of the mutation carriers.
