To the student of genetics there is offered a disease inherited as a true dominant character in accordance with the Mendelian principles of heredity (Naegli21). To the hematologist it affords the most classic example of true hemolytic anemia. To the internist the polymorphism of the presenting clinical picture, in many instances, differs so radically from the usual description of the disease as to tax his diagnostic acumen.
