title: Hypofibrinogenemia-dysfibrinogenemia and von Willebrand's disease in the same family.
abstract: Two Puerto Rican families were studied. One family included a number of members with dysfibrinogenemia occasionally associated with hypofibrinogenemia. The second family had members with von Willebrand's disease. The two diseases merged in the proband's immediate family; the affected members of this family exhibited a mild bleeding disorder. Others in the two families had no obvious bleeding tendency.
