Ancestral kinship and cancer in Lastovo Island, Croatia.

Human biology - 1 Dec 2001

Rudan I

Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to compute the average kinship coefficient of cancer cases in an extreme isolate (Lastovo Island, Croatia) and to compare it to the corresponding value for the island's unaffected population. Kinship estimates were obtained by Wright's path method (phi) based on pedigree reconstruction and Lasker's coefficient of relationship by isonymy (Ri) based on surname distribution. A total of 76...
