Classification of von Willebrand disease

Types Features
1 Partial deficiency of VWF
2 Qualitative VWF defects
2A VWF variants with loss of high-molecular-weight multimers and decreased VWF-dependent platelet adhesion
2B VWF variants with loss of high-molecular-weight multimers caused by increased affinity for platelet glycoprotein Ib
2M VWF variants with decreased VWF-dependent platelet adhesion not associated with the loss of high-molecular-weight multimers
2N VWF variants with decreased binding affinity for FVIII
3 Severe deficiency of VWF
