Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The VWF gene is located on an autosome, chromosome 12. Type 1 VWD is inherited in an autosomal-dominant pattern; however, because of reduced penetrance, at times, a family pedigree can give the appearance of an autosomal-recessive pattern, although there is not a true carrier status. With reduced penetrance, a person who does not manifest the disorder can transmit the affected gene to his or her children, who then may express the disorder. Males and females are affected equally.
