About Von Willebrand Disease
Von Willebrand disease is a common inherited genetic disorder caused by missing or defective von Willebrand factor (VWF), a clotting protein, slowing the blood clotting process after an injury, surgery or dental work. VFW binds factor VIII and platelets in the blood vessel walls, which help form a platelet plug. There are three types of Von Willebrand disease: Type 1 is the mildest and most common type, accounting for 85% of cases and Type 3 is the most severe and rarest form of the disease, affecting 3% of people with VWD. People with type 2 have a qualitative deficiency in the VWF ranging from mild to moderate, these subtypes are: type 2A, type 2B, type 2M and type 2N. Acquired VWD is rare and results after a diagnosis of another medical condition such as autoimmune disease (e.g. lupus), heart disease or some type of cancer. VWD is the most common bleeding disorder in the U.S., found in up to 1% of the U.S. population, affecting men and women equally and is characterized by mucocutaneous bleeding. Von Willebrand disease is known as angiohemophilia, vascular pseudohemophilia, von Willebrand disorder, von Willebrand’s factor deficiency.
