What is von Willebrand's disease? Von Willebrand's disease (vWD) is a common, usually mild, inherited bleeding disorder in people and in dogs. It is caused by a lack of von Willebrand factor (vWF), which plays an essential role in the blood clotting process. Normally the body responds to an injury causing bleeding through a complex defence system. This consists of local changes in the damaged blood vessels, activation of blood cells called platelets, and the coagulation process. A reduction in von Willebrand factor leads to abnormal platelet function and prolonged bleeding times. Affected dogs are prone to bleeding episodes such as nose bleeds, and generally experience increased bleeding with trauma or a surgical procedure. Three forms of the disease are distinguished based on vWF concentration and function. Dogs with Type I vWD (by far the most common) have mild to moderate bleeding abnormalities, depending on the level of vWF. The much rarer types II and III vWD cause severe bleeding disorders. How is von Willebrand's disease inherited?

How von Willebrand Disease
is Inherited

Unlike haemophilia, von Willebrand disease is not gender-related. So the effect is the same regardless of whether the defective von Willebrand factor (vWF) is passed down from the mother or father. It also makes no difference whether the child is a boy or girl; the disease shows up in the same way. If one parent has a defective gene:
Each parent contributes one of his/her genes for vWF to his/her child. As shown, there are four possible genetic combinations than can result from this union If both parents have a defective gene:
Again, there are four possible genetic combinations. Odds:
2 out of 4 children (50%) will be genetically normal.
2 out of 4 children (50%) will have the defective vWF gene Odds:
1 out of 4 children (25%) will be genetically normal.
2 out of 4 children (50%) will have one defective vWF gene
1 out of 4 children (25%) will have two defective vWF genes, which will result in severe von Willebrand disease.
Von Willebrand types I and II have a "dominant" inheritance pattern. That means that in a child with one normal gene and one gene for either of these von Willebrand types, the defective gene in "stronger. So the child will actually have the disease.

Updated September 14, 1998 von WILLEBRAND'S DISEASE:
The "Other" Bleeding Disorder von Willebrand's Disease
(vWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder in humans occurring in approximately 1% of the population . Unlike hemophilia which is a sex-linked trait, vWD may be discovered at any age and in either sex. While hemophilia is usually associated with bleeding into joints and muscles, vWD is more commonly associated with easy bruising, recurrent nosebleeds, prolonged postoperative or posttraumatic bleeding, excessive bleeding from the gums or mouth and menorrhagia . vWD is a complex hemostatic defect with multiple variations. Diagnosis may require correlation of clinical observations with laboratory testing and family studies especially in mild forms of the disease. The disease process is mediated by a qualitative or quantitative deficiency of a large glycoprotein called von Willebrand Factor (vWF). vWF is synthesized in the endothelial cells where it is stored in the Weibel-Palade bodies and in megakaryocytes where it is stored in the -granules of platelets . The mature vWF subunit is assembled into multimers which are required for biological function. vWF functions in hemostasis by permitting adhesion of platelets to exposed endothelium and by forming a non-covalent complex with Factor VIII, thus stabilizing and protecting it from rapid removal from the circulation

One Percent of Americans Have Von Willebrand Disease: What Is It?
Most of us have become accustomed to life's bumps and bruises...and scrapes, cuts, sprains and strains. We've all had those clumsy times where life seems like nothing but a series of minor mishaps. We're able to ignore many of these injuries, while others are easily put right with a bandage or a few days' rest. But for children and young adults with abnormal reactions to life's accidents - including heavy bleeding, bleeding that doesn't stop, or very frequent bruising - testing for von Willebrand disease could be in order. Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is a hereditary bleeding disorder, in fact, one of the most common bleeding disorders known: it affects about 1% of all Americans. The illness involves a protein in the blood called von Willebrand factor, or VWF, which helps our blood to clot. People with von Willebrand disease don't have enough of the factor available in their blood, or the VWF that is present doesn't perform effectively. Simple injuries can bring on heavier and longer bleeding episodes than usual or cause frequent bruises to form under the skin. Men and women can both have VWD, but women are usually more symptomatic, with heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) being a common symptom.

Canine Von Willebrand's Disease
We have seen so many breeders advertising their breeding stock as von Willebrand's tested and vWD negative, we decided to do some research into this INHERITED disorder. We personally know of one Jack Russell Terrier that was diagnosed as having vWD after whelping her first litter of puppies. She didn't clean up normally, the bleeding never stopped, and after 6 weeks, the little bitch almost bleed to death. There were no earlier signs of this disease before the whelping. By the way, we are fortunate to have a veterinary teaching hospital and library 10 miles from our door. We make use of both facilities frequently. Diagnosis can be performed by measurement of plasma concentrations of vWF. TESTING SHOULD BE DONE AT AN EARLY AGE SINCE THE DISORDER OFTEN DIMINISHES WITH AGE, CAUSING FALSE-NEGATIVE TEST RESULTS IN OLDER ANIMALS. Additional screening tests such as bleeding times or platelet agglutination assays can also be performed. Precautions should be taken before surgery, so it is important to let your veterinarian know of bleeding problems in the past. Different breeds exhibit different variations of the disease, and some individual animals appear to "acquire" vWD. While the bulk of the information available is based upon purebred dogs, the disease is not unknown in mixed breeds. The total number of breeds affected by vWF exceeds 50. The disease also appears in cats, pigs, horses, and humans.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Von Willebrand's disease is the most common hereditary bleeding disorder. It affects both sexes approximately equally. Most cases are mild, and bleeding may occur after a surgical procedure or tooth extraction. The condition is worsened by the use of aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Bleeding may decrease during pregnancy
The disease is very common, affecting at least 1% of the population. There are no racial or ethnic associations with this disorder. A family history of a bleeding disorder is the primary risk factor.

The Genetics of Von Willebrand Disease
by Michael Alimario
It was in 1931 that a man by the name of von Willebrand first described a peculiar bleeding disorder amongst the Aaland Islanders in the Gulf of Bothnia. Today von Willebrand disease is recognized as the most common hereditary bleeding disorder that may occur in up to 1% of the population. Although the condition is known to be inherited as an autosomal dominant (affecting both males and females) individuals may also acquire the disease through a production of antibody that decreases the plasma concentration of von Willebrand factor.
Von Willebrand factor is the plasma protein which is deficient and/ or defective in the disease. This factor is what causes platelets to bind damaged blood vessel walls which aids in the termination of bleeding (hemostaisis). Therefore sufferers who have the disease either yield a protein that does not function properly or exhibit diminished production of the vW factor- hence resulting in platelets that do not adhere properly when blood vessels are injured and longer overall bleeding times.
Numerous studies conducted on the von Willebrand factor gene have yielded partial cDNA clones through such processes as sequential cleavage and re-ligation of restriction fragments derived from overlapping cDNA clones. The resulting identity reveals a cDNA clone of approximately 8794 bp with all of the DNA bases represented in the mature protein product of the vWF gene. The gene itself spans some 178kb and comprises 51 introns (between 97 bp and 19.9 kb in length) and 52 exons (between 40 and 1379 bp in length).

What is von Willebrand Disease?

One of the most common bleeding disorders is von Willebrand Disease. It is named for the doctor from Finland who first described it. Von Willebrand Disease is often written and said "vWD." Like hemophilia, vWD is passed on through the genes from parent to child. But unlike hemophilia, men and women have an equal chance of getting vWD. People who have von Willebrand Disease don't have enough of a certain protein in their blood. This protein is called "von Willebrand factor". This factor is needed for platelets in the blood to work right. When a blood vessel is damaged, platelets move to the spot to plug the hole. Von Willebrand factor is what allows the platelets to stick to the blood vessel wall and to each other. In a person with vWD, the platelets can't stick together enough to make a good platelet plug. The bleeding will last longer. Unlike hemophilia, vWD is more likely to cause bleeding under the skin, easy bruising and nosebleeds. People with vWD rarely bleed into their joints. It is possible, though, for a person to have both von Willebrand Disease and hemophilia.

Nachweis der von Willebrand Erkrankung (VWD) beim Scotch Terrier mittels DNA-Test Was ist die von Willebrand-Erkrankung? Die von Willebrand Erkrankung (vWD) ist eine Blutgerinnungsstörung von unterschiedlichem Schweregrad, die aus einem defekten oder gar fehlenden von Willebrand Faktor (vWF) im Blut resultiert. Der vWF ist ein wichtiger Faktor der Blutgerinnung. Der vWF hat die Funktion, den Faktor VIII im Blut zu stabilisieren und die Adhäsion der Thrombozyten an das Subendothel zu unterstützen. Ein fehlender oder defekter vWF hat zur Folge, daß betroffene Tiere bei Verletzungen sehr lange nachbluten und u.U. verbluten können. Welche Formen der von Willebrand-Erkrankung gibt es? Man unterscheidet drei verschiedene Formen dieser Erkrankung. Typ 3 vWD ist die schwerste Form dieser Erkrankung. Diese Form wird autosomal-rezessiv d.h. verdeckt vererbt. Reinerbig betroffene Tiere (d.h. von beiden Elternteilen wurde ein betroffenes Gen geerbt) haben keinen nachweisbaren vWF im Blut. Schwere Blutungen machen Transfusionen nötig, um den fehlenden vWF zu ersetzen. Mischerbige Anlageträger (d.h. von einem Elternteil wurde eine Erbanlage geerbt) weisen mäßig reduzierte vWF-Spiegel auf, scheinen aber generell eine normale Blutgerinnung zu haben. Unter welcher Form der von Willebrand-Erkrankung leidet der Scotch Terrier und wie häufig kommt diese Erkrankung vor?

Von Willebrands sygdom
Von Willebrands sygdom er den mest almindelige blødersygdom i verden og rammer omkring 1% af befolkningen. Både kvinder og mænd kan have von Willebrands sygdom. Men kun få er klar over at de har sygdommen, og kun få kender mulighederne for behandling. Nogle får ofte næseblod men har lært at leve med det. Andre døjer med kraftige menstruationer uden nogensinde at blive behandlet, for "det ligger bare til familien". Men det påvirker ens hverdag, og der skal ikke så meget til for at undgå problemer. Von Willebrands sygdom skyldes, at man enten har for lidt - eller slet intet - af den størkningsfaktor, som hedder von Willebrand-faktor. Det kan også være, at man har faktor nok, men at den er forkert opbygget. Når der er noget galt med von Willebrand-faktoren, tager det længere tid for en blødning at standse. Der findes 3 forskellige hovedtyper af von Willebrands sygdom, hvor type 1 er den mildeste og den mest udbredte. Type 3 er den sværeste, men også den mest sjældne.

von Willebrand Disease: A new attempt at classification of a complex disorder
Samuel A. Santoro, M.D., Ph.D.
V on Willebrand disease (VWD) was first described in 1926 by Erik von Willebrand who reported on a young Finnish girl from the Aland Islands with a bleeding disorder distinguishable from classical hemophilia by its autosomal pattern of inheritance, mucocutaneous hemorrhage rather than joint and soft tissue bleeding, and a prolonged bleeding time. We now know that the disorder arises from the deficiency or abnormal function of von Willebrand factor (VWF) a large, structurally complex platelet adhesive glycoprotein present in plasma, in platelets and in vascular endothelial cells. In fact, VWD is the most common of the hereditary coagulopathies. VWF serves two principal hemostatic functions. It supports adhesion of platelets to damaged vascular walls, and it serves as a carrier for the Factor VIII molecule. Bleeding arises from the loss of one or both of these functions. Laboratory diagnosis is currently established by measurement of the VWF antigen, determination of the ristocetin cofactor activity (a functional measure of the interaction of VWF with its principal platelet receptor), and determination of the level of Factor VIII procoagulant activity. Multimer analysis may be required to establish the presence or absence of the high molecular weight forms of VWF. For more detail on the diagnosis of VWD, the interested reader is referred to a recent review.
