title: Familial lupoid thrombocytopenia.
abstract: Familial lupoid thrombocytopenia affecting three subjects in three generations is reported. All subjects had antinuclear antibodies with or without antibodies to single-stranded DNA, an increase in platelet-associated IgG, and a family member with an autoimmune disease. These findings implicate a genetic contribution. All subjects shared a common HLA haplotype.
