Suffers from Glanzmann's Thrombasthenia or morbus glanzmann-nägeli. It affects the blood coagulation. The respective gene is located on chromosome 17, not on the y-chromosome, and the disease is passed on recessively, so both my parents must have carried the defective gene. Do you know of any other Greeff who has this?
