Abstract | OBJECTIVES: PATIENTS AND METHODS: 8 patients with type 3 vWD (index cases) and 20 patients who were defined as OCs type 3 vWD were enrolled into the study. RESULT: 10 cases had similarity with mild type VWD, 4 cases had similarity with moderate type 1 vWD, 4 other cases had type 1 or 2 vWD similarities, 1 case had similarity with severe type 1 vWD, and 1 case also had similarity with severe type 1 or type 2 vWD; regarding their laboratory phenotypic characteristics. CONCLUSION: we identified that OC type 3 vWD is similar specifically to type 1 vWD in terms of laboratory phenotypic character, and we suggest that it may be used with PFA-100 as an easy and fast method in screening relatives.
