Résumé
Von Willebrand disease type 2N (VWD2N) is usually perceived as a mild bleeding disorder that can be treated by desmopressin (DDAVP). However, VWD2N-patients can be compound heterozygous or homozygous for different variants, p.Arg854Gln (R854Q) being the most frequent causative one. There is limited data about the impact of 2N-variants on VWD2N phenotype and DDAVP-response. To describe the phenotype of VWD2N, including DDAVP-response, according to genotype. VWD2N-patients with a complete genotype/phenotype characterization by the French reference center for VWD, including MCMDM-1VWD bleeding score (BS) were eligible to the study. Results of DDAVP-trial were also collected. A total of 123 VWD2N-patients from the French registry were included in this study. Results were stratified according to the presence (R854QPos, n=114) or absence (R854QNeg, n=9) of at least one R854Q-allele. Three R854QPos-subgroups were further individualized: patients homozygous (R854QHmz, n=55), compound heterozygous for R854Q and a null allele (R854Q/3, n=48) or compound heterozygous for R854Q and another 2N variant (R854Q/2N, n=11). C levels were significantly lower in R854QNeg- and R854Q/3-patients compared to R854QHmz-ones (p<0.001 and p<0.0001 respectively). R854QNeg-patients were diagnosed earlier due to bleeding symptoms and had a higher BS than R854QPos-patients (p<0.001). In DDAVP-trial, FVIII:C survival was lower in VWD type 2N than in type 1. R854QPos-patients had a heterogeneous DDAVP-response, which was best predicted by baseline FVIII:C level. The heterogeneous genetic background of VWD2N drives different bleeding phenotypes and response patterns to DDAVP, underlining the clinical relevance of DDAVP-trial to identify patients potentially eligible to alternative therapeutic options.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Von Willebrand disease type 2N (VWD2N) is usually perceived as a mild bleeding disorder that can be treated by desmopressin (DDAVP). However, VWD2N-patients can be compound heterozygous or homozygous for different variants, p.Arg854Gln (R854Q) being the most frequent causative one. There is limited data about the impact of 2N-variants on VWD2N phenotype and DDAVP-response.
OBJECTIVES
OBJECTIVE
To describe the phenotype of VWD2N, including DDAVP-response, according to genotype.
PATIENTS/METHODS
METHODS
VWD2N-patients with a complete genotype/phenotype characterization by the French reference center for VWD, including MCMDM-1VWD bleeding score (BS) were eligible to the study. Results of DDAVP-trial were also collected.

UNASSIGNED
C levels were significantly lower in R854QNeg- and R854Q/3-patients compared to R854QHmz-ones (p<0.001 and p<0.0001 respectively). R854QNeg-patients were diagnosed earlier due to bleeding symptoms and had a higher BS than R854QPos-patients (p<0.001). In DDAVP-trial, FVIII:C survival was lower in VWD type 2N than in type 1. R854QPos-patients had a heterogeneous DDAVP-response, which was best predicted by baseline FVIII:C level.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
The heterogeneous genetic background of VWD2N drives different bleeding phenotypes and response patterns to DDAVP, underlining the clinical relevance of DDAVP-trial to identify patients potentially eligible to alternative therapeutic options.
