It is hemophilia. The classic hemophilia case is inc. PTT and Nl PT and Bleeding Time. The child is only 13 months. It is quite possible that there are no hemarthroses yet, or they have gone unnoticed. Hemophilia is also known for easy bruising. VWD would have inc bleeding time before inc. PTT esp. for the boards.
