✦ Synopsis

A case of hereditary thrombocytopenia with large platelets (familial macrothrombocytopenia, FM) is reported. Studies on the platelets from the propositus showed decreased glycosylation of platelet membrane glycoprotein IV, which would distinguish the case from other FM previously described.
