NCIt definition : Human ADAMTS13 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 9q34 and is approximately
45 kb in length. This allele, which encodes a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with
thrombospondin motifs 13 protein, is involved in the processing of von Willebrand
factor multimers. Mutation of the gene is associated with congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic
purpura.;
