EHC VWD Committee members about European VWD Awareness Day! Join us to raise global awareness! #VWDunited #beVWDaware #VWDtogethere

Did you know it’s von Willebrand Disease Awareness Day? VWD is the most common bleeding disorder, affecting ca. 1% of the population. Our VWD360 study is exploring its impact on individuals and families. Access our survey here: bit.ly/42jpzAZ #VWDunited #beVWDaware

On von Willebrand disorder awareness day, we celebrate the incredible work being done to further improve treatment and diagnosis. Their dedication, passion and determination is truly inspiring. #vonwillebranddisorder #VWDAwareness #VWDAwarenessDay

C'est un honneur pour toute notre équipe à l'Institut Coeur Poumon de collaborer avec l'équipe du Pr Messas pour évaluer cette thérapeutique innovante et non-invasive pour traiter les patients qui souffrent de sténose aortique mais qui ne peuvent pas être opérés.

Dr Geneviève McCluskey giving a great presentation on her work on repurposing fitusiran for Factor X-deficiency.

#WFHCongress2024 Attending a "Free paper session" by young female researchers from three different continents. Inspired by the diversity and talent in science! #WomenInScience #FemaleResearch #hemophilia

All 4 young investigators did a great presentation !!

Congratulations to Geneviève McCluskey and Rodrigo Núñez-Cortés for winning the Christine Lee Young Researcher Award best oral and best poster respectively! #WFHCongress2024

A huge congrats to Dr Genevieve McCluskey for her work on Fitusiran in FX deficiency 👏👏 #wfhCongress2024 @InsermU1176

In the 1800s, Scottish surgeon Robert Liston became infamous for a surgery that led to an astonishing 300% mortality rate, losing his patient to infection, accidentally amputating his assistant's fingers, who also died of infection, and slashing a spectator who died from heart

C’est super Jean!! Bravo !!!

Great job Geneviève 💪💪👏👏

Fitusiran is an investigational siRNA reducing antithrombin expression that is under clinical evaluation for the treatment of hemophilia. ow.ly/iax450SzP4M #thrombosisandhemostasis

von Willebrand factor synthesis occurs in endothelial cells and megakaryocytes as a single-chain polypeptide that, subsequently, undergoes extensive processing. #VWD go.nature.com/4cSDuCA

von Willebrand factor is essential in recruiting platelets to sites of vascular injury; in intact blood vessels with normal flow conditions, this function is inhibited by bound procoagulant factor VIII. #VWD go.nature.com/4cSDuCA

This Figure shows an algorithm for diagnosis and subtyping of von Willebrand disease. go.nature.com/4cSDuCA

Variants in type 1 and type 3 von Willebrand disease occur throughout the gene, whereas variants associated with type 2 VWD are localized to specific VWF domains. go.nature.com/4cSDuCA
