## Abstract Recent molecular genetic data have become available on a recessive inheritance in colorectal cancer (CRC). We wanted to search for evidence for recessive inheritance from a populationβbased family data set, which is not sensitive to reporting or ascertainment bias. The nationwide Swedis

Anecdotal reports of hereditary colorectal cancer suggest that genetic anticipation (earlier appearance in successive generations) occurs, but ascertainment bias and cohort effects confound this interpretation. Using approaches that correct for such biases, we examined the age at diagnosis of colore
Colorectal cancers (CRC) among Israeli Arabs differ from those diagnosed in Jewish Israeli individuals in two manners: an earlier age of occurrence and a low frequency. These differences are unaccounted for and thus prompted us to perform genetic analysis in Israeli Arab CRC patients. Analysis inclu
