BACKGROUND Salivary gland cancer (SGC) accounts for 3-5% of head and neck malignancies, and register-based studies estimate the familial proportion to be 0.15%. OBJECTIVE We studied familial predisposition for SGC in the genetically distinct Finnish population. PATIENTS AND METHODS We sent a patient questionnaire to 161 Finnish SGC patients, 86 of whom responded. RESULTS A total of 76% of...
PURPOSE Several studies to date have reported ovarian cancer risk due to inherited BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations using familial data or population-based series of probands. Familial aggregation associated with both of these methods may result in a substantial ascertainment bias. To address this, we have used a case-control design that does not involve familial aggregation to estimate the lifetime p...
Thyroid cancer may have a familial predisposition but a specific germline alteration responsible for the disease has not been discovered yet. We have shown that familial papillary thyroid cancer (FPTC) patients have an imbalance in telomere-telomerase complex with short telomeres and increased telomerase activity. A germline mutation (A339V) in thyroid transcription factor-1 has been described ...
Many studies have shown familial aggregation for cervical cancer, but they have been unable to distinguish between shared environmental and genetic effects. Full and half-siblings were identified from the nationwide Swedish Family-Cancer Database, including invasive and in situ cervical cancers in women up to age 70 years. Half-siblings were defined through a common father or mother. Standardiz...
Familial aggregations of testicular germ cell tumor (FTGCT) have been well described, suggesting the existence of a hereditary TGCT subset. Approximately 1.4% of newly diagnosed TGCT patients report a positive family history of TGCT. Sons and siblings of TGCT patients have four- to sixfold and eight- to tenfold increases in TGCT risk respectively. Segregation analyses suggest an autosomal reces...
BACKGROUND First-degree relatives (FDR) of patients with colorectal cancer have a higher risk of developing colorectal cancer than the general population. For this reason, screening guidelines recommend colonoscopy every 5 or 10 y, starting at the age of 40, depending on whether colorectal cancer in the index-case is diagnosed at <60 or ≥60 y, respectively. However, studies on the risk of neopl...
Mutations in RAD51D have been associated with an increased risk of hereditary ovarian cancer and although they have been observed in the context of breast and ovarian cancer families, the association with breast cancer is unclear. The aim of this current study was to validate the reported association of RAD51D with ovarian cancer and assess for an association with breast cancer. We screened for...
familial adenomatous polyposis (fap) is responsible for < 1% of colorectal cancer (crc) cases and is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. patients generally present hundreds to thousands of adenomas and develop colorectal cancer by age 35- 40 if left untreated. here we report four patients with germline frameshift mutation (small deletion) at exon 15 of adenomatous polyposis coli (apc) tum...
