This condition is associated with a severe deficiency of von Willebrand factorcleaving protease (1-4), now known as ADAMTS13 (5). This deficiency prevents normal processing of large von Willebrand factor multimers that are secreted from endothelial cells (6). Persistence of the large von Willebrand factor multimers in the circulation helps form microvascular platelet thrombi, the pathologic hallmark of TTP (6). Mutations of the ADAMTS13 gene may result in life-long recurrent episodes of TTP due to congenital deficiency of ADAMTS13 (7). ...References1.
