Additional studies of STXBP5 and STX2 [8] and CLEC4M [9, 10] have confirmed that single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in these genes are associated with the variation observed for plasma levels of VWF. CLEC4M also binds to VWF [9] and variants in this gene contribute to the variation in the VWF level observed both in normal individuals [4] and in type 1 VWD patients [9, 10] . The present study aimed to screen comprehensively for genetic variation in the CLEC4M gene in individuals from 106 unrelated type 1 VWD families by re-sequencing the gene region (excluding exon 4) and genotyping the polymorphic neck region (exon 4) of the gene. ./cache/cord-348499-7ll7sd3o.txt ./txt/cord-348499-7ll7sd3o.txt
