Purpura of the extremities, epistaxis, ecchymoses on slight trauma and menorrhagia are features. Tourniquet test is positive but all other tests of clotting are normal. In the family reported by Fisher et al. (1954), purpura and ptosis occurred together with male-to-male transmission in at least 3 generations. Among Davis' 27 families, 9 had 2 or more generations affected. Women were more often affected and there was apparently no instance of male-to-male transmission.
