title: Antithrombin III deficiency in a Chinese family.
abstract: Familial antithrombin III deficiency, which is inherited by autosomal dominant transmission, is now well recognized as a cause of recurrent venous thromboembolism. Many such families have now been described, but few came from Asia. This report details a Chinese kindred with three members living in Sydney, two of whom are affected.
