Abstract
Background: Accurate measurement of von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a critical requirement for the diagnosis of von Willebrand disease (VWD). Aim of the study: To evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of a rapid quantitative test for the measurement of VWF antigen (VWF:Ag) in type 1 VWD. Patients and methods: VWF: Ag was measured with an ELISA in a robotic instrument, as a reference method, and with a fully automated latex-immunoassay (LIA) on an ACL 9000 analyser in 1,716 subjects enrolled within the Molecular and Clinical Markers for Diagnosis and Management of Type 1 von Willebrand Disease (MCMDM-1VWD) Study. Among these subjects, 1,049 were healthy controls, 281 healthy family members and 386 affected members from 127 European families... (More)

Among these subjects, 1,049 were healthy controls, 281 healthy family members and 386 affected members from 127 European families with type 1 VWD. Results: The assay linearity range was 10-125 IU/dL for LIA (R-2 = 0.99) and 5-133 IU/dL for ELISA (R-2 = 0.99). The inter-assay CV for low VWF levels (similar to 30 IU/dL) was 2% for the LIA test and 8.7 % for ELISA. The sensitivity for detection of type 1 VWD affected members was 86% and the specificity 91% for LIA, 87% and 90% for ELISA. A receiver-operator (ROC) analysis disclosed only a marginal difference between the two tests, LIA having a slightly greater area under the curve (0.94 vs. 0.93, p = 0.03). Conclusion: VWF: Ag LIA compared well to standard ELISA in this large population of patients and controls, showing better CV. However the lower detection limit for the VWF: Ag LIA compared to the VWF: Ag ELISA means that the LIA assay is less good at discriminating between type 3 VWD and moderate type 1 VWD.
