✦ Synopsis

A general method to obtain the exact point estimate and the measure of uncertainty of recurrence risks for genetic counseling is present. This method, which follows Bayesian estimation theory, can be applied without restrictions of sample size, class of risk function, or parameter dimension. As an illustration, the recurrence risks for isolated cases in two autosomal dominant disorders with incomplete penetrance (mandibulofacial and fontonasal dyostoses) are estimated.

## Background: Although experimental studies have demonstrated an important role of insulin-like growth factor i (igf-i) in hepatocarcinogenesis, the clinical data about igf-i in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) are scarce and controversial. to the authors' knowledge, this is the first
