ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Four variants have been continuously subjected to debate and received different von Willebrand disease (VWD) classifications p.R1315L, p.R1315C, p.R1374H, and p.R1374C. We chose to comprehensively investigate these variants with full set of VWD tests, protein-modeling predictions and applying structural biology. Patients with p.R1315L, p.R1315C, p.R1374H, and p.R1374C were included. A group with type 2A and 2M was included to better understand similarities and differences. Patients were investigated for phenotypic assays and underlying disease mechanisms. We applied deep protein modeling predictions and structural biology to elucidate the causative effects of variants. Forty-three patients with these variants and 70 with 2A (n = 35) or 2M (n = 35) were studied. Patients with p.R1315L, p.R1374H, or p.R1374C showed a common phenotype between 2M and 2A using von Willebrand factor (VWF)GPIbR/VWFAg and VWFCB/VWFAg ratios and VWF multimeric profile, whereas p.R1315C represented a type 2M phenotype. There was an overall reduced VWF synthesis or secretion in 2M and cases with p.R1315L, p.R1374H, and p.R1374C, but not in 2A. Reduced VWF survival was observed in most 2A (77%), 2M (80%), and all 40 cases with p.R1315L, p.R1374H, and p.R1374C. These were the only variants that fall at the interface between the A1-A2 domains. p.R1315L/C mutants induce more compactness and internal mobility, whereas p.R1374H/C display a more extended overall geometry. We propose a new classification of type 2M/2A for p.R1315L, p.R1374H, and p.R1374C because they share a common phenotype with 2M and 2A. Our structural analysis shows the unique location of these variants on the A1-A2 domains and their distinctive effect on VWF.
