background: in northeastern iran there is an area of high incidence of esophageal cancer which is populated by residents of turkmen ancestry. several environmental risk factors for esophageal cancer have been proposed, but the roles of familial and genetic factors have not been studied extensively in the turkmen population. materials and methods: we evaluated the importance of familial risk fac...

introduction: due to the whole network of polyposis registers worldwide and early prophylactic treatment, survival of familial adenomatosis (fap) patients is improved. extracolonic manifestations are remarkable feature of fap. two extracolonic manifestations (duodenal adenomatosis, leading duodenal cancer and desmoid tumours) play a very important role in the reasons of death in polyposis popul...

we present 2 cases of likely rare event. in case 1, 3rd degree consanguineous marriage revealed inv(6) with same break points in parents who were found to be phenotypically normal. the same inv(6) being inherited in progeny but presented with low amh (anti mullerian hormone) and high level of fsh (follicular stimulating hormone) leading to polycystic ovarian syndrome/premature ovarian failure. ...

financial and economic relationships are undeniable realities and impressive factors in familial relations, and there are reciprocal interactions between these two. the existence of this relationship has caused the familial relations to be realized as effective in the penal destiny of aggressions against properties in the penal jurisprudence and statutes. in islamic jurisprudence, familial immu...

B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is a heterogeneous disease that may exhibit familial clustering. We examined the cytogenetic, immunophenotypic, and VH gene usage characteristics of a family with B-CLL affecting 7 members in 3 generations. Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization studies identified an acquired deletion of chromosome 13q14 in the leukemic cells of 6 affected memb...

A number of prominent bioethicists, such as Parker, Lucassen and Knoppers, have called for the adoption of a system in which by default genetic information is shared among family members. This paper suggests that a main reason given in support of this call to share genetic information among family members is the idea that genetic information is essentially familial in nature. On examining this ...

Clinical geneticists are increasingly confronted with ethical tensions between their responsibilities to individual patients and to other family members. This paper considers the ethical implications of a "familial" conception of the clinical genetics role. It argues that dogmatic adherence to either the familial or to the individualistic conception of clinical genetics has the potential to lea...

It is now recognized that a subset of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is familial. The genetic basis of familial CLL is poorly understood, but recently germ line mutations in the Ataxia Telangiectasia (ATM) gene have been proposed to confer susceptibility to CLL. The evidence for this notion is, however, not unequivocal. To examine this proposition further we have screened the ATM gen...
