Classification of von Willebrand's disease.
The classification of von Willebrand's disease should be based primarily on the mode of inheritance: thus, the main division would between autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive types. Phenotypic subdivisions within these major types may then be possible. A subgroup of the dominant type seems to be well defined by increased electrophoretic mobility of the VIII-related antigen.
