Patients with low VWF-QL warrant clinical attention for bleeding; leaves open optimal diagnostic thresholds for qualitative VWF defects.
Qualitative low VWF is a distinct clinicopathological entity from type 2 VWD, characterized by significant bleeding and driven by endothelial VWF biosynthesis abnormalities rather than sequence variants.
Atiq et al. (2025) studied this question.
