Abstract

Alexander disease, or hypoproconvertinemia is a rare autosomic recessive coagulation disorder. The features include familial and/or personal history of bleeding, with an abnormal prothrombin period and a normal activated partial thromboplastin period. Coagulation and genetic studies allow subclassification with prognosis incidence for this disease. The authors report on a case of one family with Alexander disease.
