Next Generation Sequencing in Von Willebrand Disease

Watch this informative video where Dr. Jill Johnsen outlines the benefits of genotyping to enhance the treatment of von Willebrand disease (VWD), the increasing use of this diagnostic tool, obstacles to genotyping for VWD, and the type of data needed to improve treatment success.

The benefit of genotyping, or genetic testing to categorize the type of VWD that a patient has, is helping to ensure that health care providers select the best treatment for a particular patient. DNA-sequencing data helps improve the accuracy of diagnosis and is becoming more widespread in the treatment of VWD.
