## BACKGROUND. Studies not considering Helicobacter pylori infection have suggested the presence of a hereditary risk for gastric carcinoma. However, other studies have identified intrafamilial clustering of H. pylori infection as a causal factor in gastric carcinogenesis. This prompted the authors

## BACKGROUND. The activation of the c-met protooncogene through a rearrangement has been detected previously in gastric carcinoma tissue and precancerous lesions. In the current study the authors analyzed the rearrangement of TPR-MET in gastric carcinoma patients and in first-degree relatives to e
## Abstract Familial aggregation of testicular cancer has been reported consistently, but it is less clear if there is any association between risk of testicular cancer and other cancers in the family. We conducted a populationβbased caseβcontrol study to examine the relationship between risk of te
The increased risk of nonocular cancer seen consistently in studies of survivors of retinoblastoma may be caused in part by the presence of a retinoblastoma gene that also predisposes to other cancers. It has been claimed that this gene also increases the risk for cancer among unaffected relatives o
