D. Culpan et al., RAPID GENOTYPIC DIAGNOSIS OF TYPE 2A VON-WILLEBRANDS-DISEASE BY HETERODUPLEX ANALYSIS, Clinical and laboratory haematology, 20(3), 1998, pp. 177-178
We have previously reported a rapid heteroduplex-based technique which
is able to identify at least 10 recurrent mutations associated with t
ype 2A von Willebrand's disease, Thirteen patients with this disorder
were genotyped by this method and a specific mutation was identified i
n nine cases, This simple DNA based approach can provide useful inform
ation to support data derived from phenotype tests in the initial asse
ssment of such patients.
