## Abstract Rates of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus (EAC) and esophagoβgastric junction (EGJAC) have increased rapidly in recent decades. The primary risk factors, gastroβesophageal acid reflux and smoking, are potentially genotoxic through the generation of __N__βnitroso compounds. The DNA repair
## Abstract A patient with mutations in the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) Ο΅ subunit, who subsequently developed autoimmune myasthenia gravis (MG), led us to search for Ο΅ AChR mutations and polymorphisms in 167 patients with earlyβonset MG. No Ο΅βsubunit mutations or increased incidence of exonic Ο΅βs
Mutations in the familial early-onset breast cancer gene (BRCA1) account for approximately 2-5% of all breast cancer cases (Easton et al., 1993). Since the isolation of the BRCA1 gene in 1994, many mutations have been identified. We report here a total of 254 BRCA1 mutations, 132 (52%) of which are
