It is thought probable, that the mutant gene present in the two fam-
ilies and the one previously described,0 has originated from a common
ancestor in the area. Efforts to find such a relationship by genealogical
approach have not been successful yet.
The bleeding times have been found normal in all affected individuals,
when tested in the asymptomatic phase, whereas it has been prolonged,
when symptoms of bleeding were present.
The estimations of coagulation factors were performed at the Statens
Seruminstitut in Copenhagen on frosen plasma samples sent by air.
