Assistance requested in investigating possible associations of ABO with von Willebrand factor

A colleague in the UK, Dr. James O'Donnell is currently investigating possible associations of ABO with vW factor (see O'Donnell et al Trans Med 2001;11;343-351 (review); O'Donnell et al Br J Haematol 2002;116:350-56; O'Donnell et al Br J Haematol 2003;121:928-31).

He is hoping to obtain plasma from Bombay and paraBombay individuals. Ideally, he would like 10 ml, but even as little as 1 ml would help him. The age of the plasma is not important if it has been frozen and the plasma sample meets all criteria for safe transportation across jurisdictions.

He can be reached via email at the following address: J.odonnell@imperial.ac.uk
