An Interactive Database of ADAMTS13 Variants Yields Novel Insight into Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura.

A comprehensive database of genetic variants in a rare bleeding disorder helps clinicians interpret test results and guide families better.

Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP) is caused by pathogenic variants in ADAMTS13. Overall, these findings demonstrate the molecular heterogeneity in cTTP and provide a curated and expandable resource to support variant interpretation, future research, and clinical practice.
