Evaluation of an Automated von Willebrand Factor Activity Assay in von Willebrand Disease

Abstract: We evaluated the use of the turbidimetric HemosIL von Willebrand Factor (VWF) Activity assay (VWF:Act) on the STA-R automated coagulometer (Stago, Asnières, France) for the diagnosis of von Willebrand disease (VWD). For this, we prospectively screened 268 patients. As a second part, we retrospectively assayed 111 patients with well-defined VWD subtype. In the first prospective study, we demonstrate that in most cases of VWD, VWF ristocetin cofactor activity (VWF:RCo) and VWF:Act are highly correlated but that … Show more

“…As expected, and also reported by others, all of the new assays (i.e. VWF:GPIbR by the HemosIL latex agglutination assay and the HemosIL AcuStar assay , the VWF:GPIbM Siemens assay and the VWF:Ab assay ) performed well and yielded results close to the old reference standard VWF:RCo. Although statistically significant and consistent in all participating laboratories, the slightly steeper regression lines for the VWF:Ab and VWF:GPIbM were clinically insignificant.…”

“…Some VWD type 2M mutations (e.g. p.G1324A) are not detected by the assay and it is not clear to what extent the assay is sensitive to the loss of HMW multimers . Furthermore, the VWF:Ab assay did not resolve the problem with the lower limit of detection because linearity is reported to be acceptable only above 12.5 IU dL −1 .…”

“…vWD is the most common inherited human bleeding disorder and results from defects in plasma vWF quantity and/or quality [49]. According to phenotype analysis, vWD can be classified among six independent types: type 1, types 2A, 2B, 2M and 2N, and type 3 [50].…”
