Von Willebrand disease type 2N – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1091176565

Type 2N von Willebrand disease (type 2N VWD) is a subtype of type 2 VWD characterised by a bleeding disorder associated with a marked decrease in the affinity of the Willebrand factor (von Willebrand factor; VWF) for factor VIII (FVIII). Abnormal bleeding manifestations are much less frequent in this VWD subtype than in other forms of the disease.
