## Abstract Many clinical decisions require accurate estimates of disease risks associated with mutations of known disease‐susceptibility genes. Such risk estimation is difficult when the mutations are rare. We used computer simulations to compare the performance of estimates obtained from two type

The retinoblastoma susceptibility (RE3) gene is unique among other cloned cancer genes because its causal role in a human cancer, retinoblastoma, was established by classical genetic methods before its isolation. Earlier hypotheses and experimental data suggested that inactivation of a gene in chrom

The penetrance in heterozygotes of vestigial mutants was analysed. Two ,genetic modifier systems, one enhancing, the other diminishing the penetrance of vg in heterozygotes were postdated. Both modifiers were found either in the wild or in the mutant strains, and are located on the X chromosome. Fr

The gene responsible for the formation of both retinoblastoma and osteosarcoma recently has been isolated. This represents the first human recessive cancer gene ever cloned. Structural deletions within one or both retinoblastoma gene alleles were commonly noted in the retinoblastomas and an osteosar
