This report summarizes information obtained on four generations of a kindred afflicted with a
mild hemorrhagic diathesis. Studies carried out on a family of eight members and platelet
counts obtained on fifty-one additional members demonstrated only mild thrombocytopenia
in eleven members of three generations. The thrombocytopenia appears to be inherited as
an autosomal dominant trait.
