We found VWF rs1063856 (OR = 1.50, 95% CIs = 1.10-2.04; p = 0.010), IL-6 rs1800796 (OR = 1.32, 95% CIs = 1.11-1.56; p = 0.002), TNF rs1800629 (OR = 1.44, 95% CIs = 1.13-1.83; p = 0.003), and CRP rs2794521 (OR = 1.27, 95% CIs = 1.04-1.55; p = 0.021) were all significantly associated with increased susceptibility of OSA, while VWF rs1063856 (OR = 1.75, 95% CIs = 1.18-2.62; p = 0.006), IL-6 rs1800796 (OR = 1.39, 95% CIs = 1.10-1.76; p = 0.006) were associated with the severity of OSA.
However, this hypothesis has not been tested <i>in vivo</i> The relationship between platelet desialylation and the platelet count was probed in 36 patients with type 2B von Willebrand disease (p.R1306Q, p.R1341Q, and p.V1316M mutations) and in a mouse model carrying the severe p.V1316M mutation (the 2B mouse).
The results showed that two independent, potentially functional SNPs in two genes (VWF rs73049469 and ITGB2 rs3788142) were significantly associated with NSCLC survival, with a combined hazards ratio (HR) of 1.22 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.07-1.40, P = 0.002] and 1.16 (1.07-1.27, 6.45 × 10<sup>-4</sup> ), respectively.
In conclusion, a haplotype containing the <i>STXBP5</i> Asn436Ser (rs1039084) mutation is associated with type 1 VWD and no rare <i>STXBP5</i> mutations contribute to type 1 VWD in the Swedish population.
The patient was confirmed to be a compound heterozygote for vWD: c.2574C > G (p.Cys858Trp) from his father (known variant of vWD type 1) and c.3390C > T (p.Pro1127_Gly1180delinsArg) from his mother (variant known to result in exon 26 skipping in vWD type 2A).

A D'-D3 variant with a VWD type 2N mutation in VWD3 (D879N) or C8_3 (C1060R) also revealed conformational changes in D3, which were proportional to a decrease in FVIII-binding affinity.

Significant SNPxDiagnosis interactions were identified for eight serum proteins including Factor-VII[rs555212], Alpha-1-Antitrypsin[rs11846959], Interferon-Gamma Induced Protein 10[rs4256246] and von-Willebrand-Factor[rs12829220] in the control group; Chromogranin-A[rs9658644], Cystatin-C[rs2424577] and Vitamin K-Dependent Protein S[rs6123] in the schizophrenia group; Interleukin-6 receptor[rs7553796] in both the control and schizophrenia groups.
In the second case, the genetic analysis of VWF exon 28 identified a homozygous mutation: p.Pro1337Leu confirming type VWD2B and also the p.Arg854Gln homozygous mutation in exon 20 confirming type 2N (ratio FVIII/VWF:Ag <0.5).
In the second case, the genetic analysis of VWF exon 28 identified a homozygous mutation: p.Pro1337Leu confirming type VWD2B and also the p.Arg854Gln homozygous mutation in exon 20 confirming type 2N (ratio FVIII/VWF:Ag <0.5).
The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of three VWF missense mutations (p.M771I, p.L881R and p.P1413L) located in different functional domains of VWF, reported as candidate mutations in type 1 VWD patients in the course of the MCMDM-1VWD study.
In particular, the VWD type 2A Gly1629Glu mutation drastically accelerates the proteolytic cleavage activity, even in the absence of forces or denaturants.
The CT genotype of these variants was noticed to be associated with significantly higher risk of VWD [odds ratio (95% CI): 14.7 (4.546-47.98), 26.71 (7.281-97.98), and 21.5 (5.806-80.01) for c.3445T>C, c.4975C>T, and c.7603C>T, resp.] while genotypes CC (c.4975C>T) and TT (c.3445T>C and c.7603C>T) were having protective effect against the disease.

These data indicate, to our knowledge for the first time, that the severe macrothrombocytopenia in VWD-type 2B p.V1316M is due to an MK dysfunction that originates from a constitutive activation of the RhoA/LIMK/cofilin pathway and actin disorganization.
We identified a heterozygous silent mutation, c.7464C>T, in exon 44 of the von Willebrand factor (VWF) gene in a family with type 1 von Willebrand disease.
In particular, rs917859 is nominally associated with an odds ratio of 1.5 (95% CI 1.11-2.02; p-value = 0.008) after genotyping in 115 HSE cases and 428 controls.
