## Abstract We report on a previously undescribed combination of endocrine and neuroectodermal abnormalities in four sibs from Burma. These abnormalities include low growth hormone levels in response to provocative stimuli, delayed puberty associated with prepubertal levels of gonadotropins in the
Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is a rare, highly malignant small-cell neoplasm that most often arises from the chest wall or paravertebral region. A patient is described from whom resection, intensive chemotherapy, and bone marrow transplant were unsuccessful. Eleven patients were treated be
Limitations of detection of familial aggregation, examined by nonparametric aggregate measures (e.g., SMR), or by parametric methods (e.g., segregation analysis) may involve: (1) heterogeneity of risk patterns in different kindreds, or (2) restricted choice of parametric models. Nonparametric approa
