Familial cancer risks in affected sibships: results from the Swedish family-cancer database.

Genetic epidemiology - 1 Sept 2000

Hemminki K, Kyyrönen P

Abstract excerpt

We used the nationwide Swedish Family-Cancer Database to assess familial risks to sibs in sibsibs where at least two sibs had concordant cancer and their parents either concordant or discordant cancer. Familial relative risks (FRRs) were calculated by comparing to concordant sib-pairs whose parents had no cancer. Cancer sites were included if at least ten such concordant sib-pairs were found. In situ cancers were...
