Kodas: H642
Short description
Von Willebrand Disease (vWD) is a group of bleeding disorders caused by deficiency in the von Willebrand factor (vWF), which results in poorly functioning blood platelets and can lead to uncontrolled bleeding.
General information
Von Willebrand Disease (vWD) is a group of bleeding disorders caused by deficiency in the von Willebrand factor (vWF), which results in poorly functioning blood platelets and can lead to uncontrolled bleeding. Type III (Type 3) vWD is the most severe form of the disease, and is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene vWF. This variant of Type III vWD is found in the ‘Kooikerhondje’. Related variants are also found in the Shetland Sheepdog and Scottish Terrier.
