The decreased survival of von Willebrand factor (VWF) in plasma has been implicated as a mechanism in a subset of type 1 von Willebrand disease (VWD) patients. We have previously reported that the ratio of plasma levels of VWF and its propeptide (VWFpp) can be used to identify patients with reduced VWF survival. In this study, we report the assay of VWFpp and VWF:Ag in 19 individuals recruited from 6 European centers within the MCMDM-1VWD study. Eight individuals had a VWF:Ag level less than 30 IU/dL. Seven of these patients had a robust desmopressin response and significantly reduced VWF half-life that was predicted by a markedly increased steady-state plasma VWFpp/VWF:Ag ratio. VWF mutations previously associated with reduced VWF survival were identified in each of the 7 individuals. Thus, a substantially increased ratio of steady-state VWFpp/VWF:Ag predicted a reduced VWF half-life in patients with markedly decreased VWF:Ag levels. These data indicate that a reduced VWF survival is found in a subpopulation of patients with type 1 VWD. The systematic assay of both plasma VWF and the VWF propeptide in moderately severe type 1 VWD patients may identify patients with a reduced VWF survival phenotype.
