    Abstract ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin-like metalloprotease domain with thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13) is a protease of crucial importance in the regulation of the size of von Willebrand factor multimers. Very low ADAMTS13 activity levels result in thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, a rare and life-threatening disease. The mechanisms involved can either be acquired (immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura [iTTP]) or congenital (cTTP, Upshaw-Schulman syndrome) caused by the autosomal recessive inheritance of disease-causing variants (DCVs) located along the

    Abstract Clinical interpretation of genetic variants in the context of the patient's phenotype is a time-consuming and costly process. In-silico analysis using in-silico prediction tools, and molecular modeling have been developed to predict the influence of genetic variants on the quality and/or quantity of the resulting translated protein, and in this way, to alert clinicians of disease likelihood in the absence of previous evidence. Our objectives were to evaluate the success rate of the in-silico analysis in predicting the disease-causing variants as pathogenic and the single-nucleotide variants as neutral, and to establish the reliability of in-silico analysis for determining pathogenicity or neutrality of von Willebrand factor gene-associated genetic variants. Using in-silico analysis, we studied pathogenicity in 31 disease-causing variants, and neutrality in 61 single-nucleotide variants from patients previously diagnosed as type 2 von Willebrand disease. Disease-causing variants and non-synonymous single-nucleotide variants were explored by in-silico tools that analyze the amino acidic sequence. Intronic and synonymous single-nucleotide variants were analyzed by in-silico methods that evaluate the nucleotidic sequence. We found a consistent agreement between predictions achieved by in-silico prediction tools and molecular modeling, both for defining the pathogenicity of disease-causing variants and the neutrality of single-nucleotide variants. Based on our results, the in-silico analysis would help to define the pathogenicity or neutrality in novel genetic variants observed in patients with clinical and laboratory phenotypes suggestive of von Willebrand disease.

    Abstract Type 2A and 2M von Willebrand disease (VWD) broadly show similar phenotypic parameters, but involve different pathophysiological mechanisms. This report presents the clinical and laboratory profiles of type 2A and type 2M patients genotypically diagnosed at one large center. Higher bleeding score values and a higher incidence of major bleeding episodes were observed in type 2A compared with type 2M, potentially reflective of the absence of large and intermediate von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimers in 2A. In type 2A, most of disease-causing variants (DCVs) appeared to be responsible for increased VWF clearance and DCV clustered in the VWF-A1 domain resulted in more severe clinical profiles. In type 2M, DCV in the VWF-A1 domain showed different laboratory patterns, related to either reduced synthesis or shortened VWF survival, and DCV in the VWF-A2 domain showed patterns related mainly to shortened survival. VWF-type 1 collagen binding/Ag (C1B/Ag) showed different patterns according to DCV location: in type 2A VWD, C1B/Ag was much lower when DCVs were located in the VWF-A2 domain. In type 2M with DCV in the VWF-A1domain, C1B/Ag was normal, but with DCV in the VWF-A2 domain, C1B/Ag was low. The higher frequency of major bleeding in VWD 2M patients with DCV in the VWF-A2 domain than that with DCV in the VWF-A1 domain could be a summative effect of abnormal C1B/Ag, on top of the reduced VWF-GPIb binding. In silico modeling suggests that DCV impairing the VWF-A2 domain somehow modulates collagen binding to the VWF-A3 domain. Concomitant normal FVIII:C/Ag and VWFpp/Ag, mainly in type 2M VWD, suggest that other nonidentified pathophysiological mechanisms, neither related to synthesis/retention nor survival of VWF, would be responsible for the presenting phenotype.

    Abstract ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin-like metalloprotease domain with thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13) is a protease of crucial importance in the regulation of the size of von Willebrand factor multimers. Very low ADAMTS13 activity levels result in thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, a rare and life-threatening disease. The mechanisms involved can either be acquired (immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura [iTTP]) or congenital (cTTP, Upshaw–Schulman syndrome) caused by the autosomal recessive inheritance of disease-causing variants (DCVs) located along the ADAMTS13 gene, which is located in chromosome 9q34. Apart from its role in TTP, and as a regulator of microthrombosis, ADAMTS13 has begun to be identified as a prognostic and/or diagnostic marker of other diseases, such as those related to inflammatory processes, liver damage, metastasis of malignancies, sepsis, and different disorders related to angiogenesis. Since its first description almost 100 years ago, the improvement of laboratory tests and the description of novel DCVs along the ADAMTS13 gene have contributed to a better and faster diagnosis of patients under critical conditions. The ability of ADAMTS13 to dissolve platelet aggregates in vitro and its antithrombotic properties makes recombinant human ADAMTS13 treatment a potential therapeutic approach targeting not only patients with cTTP but also other medical conditions.

    Abstract von Willebrand disease type 2B (VWD2B) expresses gain-of-function mutations that enhance binding of an individual's von Willebrand factor (VWF) to its platelet ligand, glycoprotein Ib (GPIb), and which are usually identified by increased ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation (RIPA). We describe here the phenotypic profile of 38 genotypically selected VWD2B-affected family members (AFMs) belonging to 19 unrelated families. Major bleeding was observed in 68.4% of AFMs (previous to their diagnosis and registered by lifetime interviews), with a total of 46 episodes (1.21/patient), and was found to be highly related to the individual bleeding score and presence of thrombocytopenia, but otherwise unrelated to other laboratory parameters. Excessive muco-cutaneous bleeding symptoms were often reported, the most frequent of which comprised menorrhagia, epistaxis, easy bruising, and bleeding after teeth extraction/in oral cavity. Eight unaffected family members were also studied. The prevalence of VWD2B within families was 0.826, and the penetrance of mutations was complete, making it mandatory to study entire family sets to complete diagnostic profiles. Seven heterozygous missense mutations were found, the most common being p.V1316M. In the p.R1308C group, 75% of the AFMs showed absence of RIPA at 0.5 mg/mL, 66.6% of whom had VWF:RCo < 10 IU/dL, and 50% of whom had VWF:CB < 10 IU/dL. In the p.S1310F group, none of the AFMs had VWF:RCo/VWF:Ag < 0.6 (RCo/Ag), but 100% had VWF:CB/VWF:Ag < 0.6/(CB/Ag). Patients with p.P1266L and p.R1304V were characterized as atypical VWD2B. Two de novo mutations were found in four AFMs belonging to two families. We also describe a novel mutation: p.Y1258C. Of our patients, 70.5% had O blood group. In conclusion, a normal RCo/Ag and a negative RIPA at 0.5 mg/mL do not necessarily rule out a diagnosis of VWD2B.

    Abstract Patients with von Willebrand disease (VWD) frequently bleed under a challenge. The aim of our study was to identify predictive markers of perioperative major haemorrhage in type 1 (VWF:RCo = 15-30 IU dl(-1)) and possible type 1 (VWF:RCo = 31-49 IU dl(-1)) VWD patients. We recorded perioperative bleeding complications previous to diagnosis and laboratory parameters in 311 patients with 498 surgical procedures. The patients were grouped according to the absence (A) or presence (B) of perioperative major haemorrhages. Eighty-one patients (26%) and 87 surgical procedures (17.5%) presented major haemorrhages associated with surgeries. There was no difference between the percentage of type 1 and possible type 1 VWD patients who had major haemorrhages (32.6% and 24.8% respectively; p = ns). No difference in the prevalence of O blood group, age, gender, positive family history and laboratory test results (FVIII and VWF) was observed, independent of the haemorrhagic tendency. Bleeding after tooth extraction was the most frequent clinical feature observed in patients with perioperative major haemorrhages. The bleeding score and the number of bleeding sites (> or = 3) were not predictors of major haemorrhage associated with surgery. Caesarean section and adenotonsillectomy showed the highest frequency of major haemorrhages (24.6% and 22.3%, respectively). In conclusion, type 1 and possible type 1 VWD patients showed similar incidence of perioperative major haemorrhages. Laboratory tests and positive family history did not prove to be effective at predicting major haemorrhages in patients that had either type 1 or possible type 1 VWD. The history of bleeding after tooth extraction could define risk factors of major haemorrhage.
