Table 2.

Predicted phenotype by type and number of mutations according to mechanisms presented in Table 1.

Allele 1/Allele 2PhenotypeType of VWD
Normal/Normal Normal – 
Normal/Null ~50% VWF reduction in plasma and platelets Normal (low VWF level); Carriers of type 3 
Normal/Missense Mechanism a) of Table 1: ~75% VWF reduction in plasma (around 25 U/dL normal VWF in plasma) 1) Type 1 
 Mechanism b) of Table 1: abnormal multimers or intrinsic functional abnormality 2) Type 2 VWD 
Missense/Missense As above, increased severity Type 1 or Type 2 VWD 
Missense/Null As above, increased severity Type 1, 2 or 3 VWD 
Null/Null No VWF detectable in plasma and platelets Type 3
