A 5 year old male is sent for a hematology consult due to excessive nose bleeds. It is noted that he has a lot of gingival bleeding and bruises easily. Platelet aggregation shows the following: Wave 1: ADP.                   Wave 2: Collagen           Wave 3: Epinephrine.    Wave 4: Ristocetin The MLS ran one more aggregation study and found no response when the patient’s platelets were mixed with a combination of ristocetin and reagent-based vWF. What is this patient’s Disorder of primary hemostasis?
