from several years my group is studying sporadic neuroblastoma. Recently we are interested in familial neuroblastoma. We observed two families: one (Famili M.) has a F1 with three children, two of them with neuroblastoma, stage 4 and stage 2 respectively, patient with stage 4 dead; the other family (Family C.) has a F1 with two children, one had stage 4 and neurofibroma and dead with disease progression, he had also an healthy youngest healthy sister.

We are interested in a collaboration in the Familial Neuroblastoma Linkage Project and in any other Cooperation for familial neuroblastoma study. Thank.
