A family with a tendency to thrombosis and decreased antithrombin III (AT III) activity in plasma, but normal immunoreactive AT III is reported. 7 members of the family had the AT III defect, 4 of whom have had thrombotic episodes. The importance of biological determination of AT III when studying patients with recurrent thrombotic episodes is emphasized.
