Identification of tumor susceptibility genes has contributed significantly to our understanding on molecular basis of cancer. Over one hundred high risk tumor susceptibility genes have been identified during past few decades, but some remain still to be characterized, including those that do not cause other clinically recognizable syndromic features, and present with incomplete penetrance. The aim of this study was to assess the familial aggregation of cancers in Finland and to identify novel tumor predisposition families and genes in families with Kaposi sarcoma (KS), nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL), and intracranial meningioma. First, to assess the familial aggregation of cancers in Finland, we conducted a com...
