## Abstract Epidemiological observations suggest that cancer arises from chronically inflamed tissues. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a typical example since patients with longstanding IBD are at increased risk for development of colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, genetic factors predisposing

## Abstract Our aim was to estimate the prevalence of mutations in the __BRCA1__ and __BRCA2__ genes among unselected incident cases of breast cancer in young women. We identified 158 incident breast cancer cases diagnosed before age 46 years in predefined geographic areas in Girona and Tarragona,
We used data from a population based series of breast cancer patients to investigate the genetic models that can best explain familial breast cancer not due to the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. The data set consisted of 1,484 women diagnosed with breast cancer under age 55 registered in the East Anglia Can
## Abstract Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominant disorder that predisposes to predominantly colorectal and endometrial cancers due to germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes, mainly __MLH1__, __MSH2__ and in families with excess endometrial cancer also
## Abstract The prevalence of __BRCA1/2__ germβline mutations was assessed in a prospective populationβbased series of earlyβonset breast cancer (BC) patients in France, and the usefulness of a clinical assessment of hereditary BC risk, based on multiple criteria including pedigree structure, was e
