Hello,
I posted on here a while ago about my 4 year old daughter who may have Von Willebrands Disease. The hospital are being useless and won't properly diagnose her at the moment. So I have been doing my own research and I would if anyone could answer a couple of questions that I have.
1. Is it possible for a parent to have type 1, but the child to have type 2?
2. Is it possible to have type 2b and have a normal platelet count or does everyone with type 2b have a low platelet count?
3. I have read in some places that with type 2b the platelet count may be slightly low? Is this always the case or is it sometimes an extremely low count?
Thank you for your help.
