title: [A family with hereditary hypofibrinogenemia].
abstract: A family with congenital hypofibrinogenemia (fibrinogen levels of 60-90 mg%) has been studied. Out of 19 members tested, 11 exhibit this trait, which follows a strictly autosomal-dominant pattern of inheritance. Congenital hypofibrinogenemia appears to be a separate entity which can be distinguished from heterozygous individuals of congenital afibrinogenemia and from congenital dysfibrinogenemia. A bleeding tendency of clinical significance is observed only during major surgery or after severe injury.
