In the same family:
Sam I. Am: has autoimmune disorder causing dangerously low platelet levels (can potentially lead to severe bleeding).
One of Sam I. Am's siblings: hospitalized for pulmonary embolism (although in the end they couldn't find one). Platelets: way above normal. Clotting factors: sky high.
How, how do genetics explain this? (I know, I know...8 years of Microbiology training and all that, I do know the answer, but still...)
