Familial mesotheliomas are reported in four pairs of patients. The group includes six men and two women, aged between 44 and 84 years. A blood relation (father-son) existed in two pairs only. All the present patients had histories of exposure to asbestos; in five cases exposure had occurred in the shipyards. Familial mesothelioma could represent a useful model for investigating genetic-environmental interactions.
据报道,有四对患者患有家族性间皮瘤。该组包括6名男性和2名女性,年龄在44岁至84岁之间。只有两对存在血缘关系(父子)。所有现有患者都有接触石棉的病史;其中5例是在造船厂接触的。家族性间皮瘤可能是研究基因与环境相互作用的有用模型。
