The mode of inheritance is still not completely understood. It was said this was a dominant trait with incomplete penetrance while it might be more a recessive trait. With dominant traits there are no carriers. With recessive disorders carriers are by definition asymptomatic. Based upon our screening results it appears that only homozygous affecteds are at risk of bleeding.
