Von Willebrand disease is a hereditary disorder. It is caused by an abnormal gene. Each cell of the body contains structures called chromosomes. A chromosome is a long chain of chemicals known as DNA. This DNA is arranged into about 25,000 units called genes which determine such things as the colour of a personâs eyes. Each cell contains 46 of these chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs. Von Willebrand disease is caused by a defect on chromosome 12. The defect could be on the chromosome 12 from the mother, on the chromosome 12 from the father, or on both. There are two ways of getting the hereditary form of VWD.
So here it is. As you know, VetGen is now offering DNA tests for von Willebrand's disease (vWD) in Scotties, Shelties, and Dobes, and Kristi, of VetGen, is beginning to post information about these tests.The responses indicate some confusion, particularly about the Doberman.here are two things that made the Dobe vWD appear to be inherited in a fashion like the human disease. (1) The Dobe mutation is what geneticists refer to as leaky.. That is, the mutant gene makes a small amount of normal vWF protein. The amount made by each mutant gene is about 5% of the total normal amount.
