Request for families with hereditary glomus tumors 

We have established a potential genetic linkage for a family with autosomal dominant glomus tumors (OMIM 138000).  These are the cutaneous neoplasms consisting of multiple layers of glomus cells lining blood filled cavities, not
be to confused with paragangliomata, which are sometimes also called glomus tumors.   The study is approved by the Human Subjects committee of the Duke University Medical Center.  If anyone knows of any multiple generation
families that would be interested in a genetic linkage study,  please contact...
