Abstract
A father and son with the May-Hegglin anomaly were studied. Both were asymptomatic, although the father had a mild thrombocytopenia and a probable platelet thromboplastic function defect. Possible mechanisms for the bleeding tendency observed in approximately one-fourth of the persons with this anomaly are discussed. The autosomal dominant mode of inheritance is again demonstrated, and both father and son were found to have normal chromosomes.Keywords
