Background Information for von Willebrand Disease, Type 2B (VWF) Sequencing: Characteristics: Mucocutaneous bleeding after brushing or flossing teeth, unexplained bruising, prolonged repeated nosebleeds, menorrhagia, and prolonged bleeding following childbirth, trauma or surgery. Incidence: Approximately 1 in 100 to 1 in 1000 individuals. Inheritance: Autosomal dominant for types 2B, 2M and most of 2A; autosomal recessive for 20 percent of 2A. Penetrance: Dominant mutations are incompletely penetrant when VWF:Ag and VWF:RCo levels are 25-50 IU/dL. Full penetrance is expected when VWF:Ag and VWF:RCo levels are less than 25 IU/dL. Cause: Pathogenic VWF mutations in exon 28. Clinical Sensitivity: 80 percent for vWD types 2A, 2B, and 2M; unknown for other vWD subtypes. Methodology: Bidirectional sequencing of VWF exon 28 and its intron-exon boundaries. Analytical Sensitivity and Specificity: 99 percent. Limitations: Diagnostic errors can occur due to rare sequence variations. Regulatory region mutations, deep intronic mutations, and large deletion/duplications will not be detected. Mutations lying outside of VWF exon 28 are not evaluated.
