Evaluation of Normal Range of Bleeding Scores in Healthy Iranian Adults using the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis Bleeding Assessment Tool
Background: Bleeding assessment tools are key components in the evaluation of patients suspicious for bleeding disorders. The exact determination of the normal ranges of ISTH-BAT (International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis –Bleeding Assessment Tool) in the healthy population is a crucial step for determining who needs to be referred for further coagulation laboratory examinations. We ai...
متن کاملHEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY Two novel type 2N von Willebrand disease–causing mutations that result in defective factor VIII binding, multimerization, and secretion of von Willebrand factor
Two novel mutations, a T-to-C transition at nucleotide 2612 and a T-to-G transversion at nucleotide 3923 of the von Willebrand factor (vWF) complementary DNA, were detected by analysis of the vWF gene in DNA from members of 2 families with atypical von Willebrand disease. The T2612C transition predicts substitution of cysteine by arginine at amino acid position 788 (C788R), and the T3923G trans...

• The high-resolution structure of the complex disulfidebonded TIL9E9 (D9) region of VWF is presented. • The major factor VIII binding site is localized around a flexible region on the TIL9 domain. Althoughmuchof the functionof vonWillebrand factor (VWF)hasbeen revealed, detailed insight into the molecular structure that enables VWF to orchestrate hemostatic processes, in particular factor VIII...
متن کاملvon Willebrand factor: a marker of endothelial damage?
Von Willebrand factor (vWF), a large glycoprotein encoded by a gene on chromosome 12, is synthesized by vascular endothelial cells and circulates in human plasma at concentrations of 10 mg/mL.* In plasma, vWF forms a noncovalent complex with coagulation factor VIII, the protein encoded by a gene on the X chromosome that is deficient or defective in hemophilia A. This molecular complex is essent...

Background: The development of inhibitors is a complication factor replacement therapy in hereditary factor VIII deficiency. Several management options are available for the treatment of inhibitor. Rituximab, a monoclonal antibody against CD20, reduces inhibitor level in rare bleeding disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of rituximab in lowering or eliminating the ...
