41 Type 1 von Willebrand Disease When is this diagnosis helpful? Plasma VWF Levels 50% 30% 0%??? Type 1 VWD Type 1 VWD Low VWF Possible VWD

42 Why Does this Matter? Disease "labelling" Health insurance Access to effective therapy Comparative research studies Correct biological interpretation Growing Consensus: 30-50% VWF. - Low VWF

43 Changes in von Willebrand factor level and von Willebrand activity with age in type 1 von Willebrand disease Rydz et al Haemophilia 21: , 2015

44 Diagnosis of Low von Willebrand Factor Patients with an appropriate bleeding history and VWF activity IU/mL should be regarded as having primary haemostatic bleeding with reduced VWF as a risk factor rather than VWD. We suggest referring to this as Low VWF (2C). UKHCDO Guidelines Laffan et al. Br.J.Haematol. 2014

45 Type 1 von Willebrand Disease Classical description. - monogenic, dominant inheritance In 2017 Oligogenic Variable penetrance Variable expressivity

47 Results from Recent Type 1 VWD Studies 1. Candidate VWF mutations in 65% of index cases 2. >100 different VWF gene mutations 3. Missense mutations predominate 4. ~15% of cases have >1 mutation

56 Contributions from non-vwf Genetic Loci Frequent variants - small effects (<5%) - demonstrated in GWAS? Rare variants - larger effects

57 Complex Genetic Background of Type 1 von Willebrand Disease VWF - 91 polymorphic amino acids ABO At least 16 other genes involved in Biosynthesis, trafficking, storage, secretion Clearance

58 + other genetic loci Major Effect on VWF Level Minor Penetrant VWF Mutations Incompletely Penetrant VWF Mutations ABO Blood Group - regulatory sequences - biosynthetic regulators - clearance receptors VWF SNV Combinations Rare Prevalence of Variant Frequent Model for Pathogenesis of Type 1 von Willebrand Disease
