Title: Research on hereditability of gastric cancer in wuwei city.
Abstract: To explore hereditability of gastric cancer in Wuwei city.A case-control study was used to investigate 251 gastric cancer families located in Wuwei city. Li-Mantel-Gan and Falconer regression methods were used to calculate segregation ratios and hereditability.The segregation ratio in Wuwei families was 0.0774, the hereditability of class I kinfolks and class II kinfolks were respectively 22.91% and 20.07%.The segregation ratio of gastric cancer in Wuwei was significantly lower than for mono-genetic diseases (0.25), corresponding better with a model of polygenetic diseases. The genetic susceptibility factor accounted for about 1/5-1/4 in the formation of gastric cancer familial aggregation.
