BACKGROUND: Recent reports suggest a familial predisposition to @entity5202 ( @entity5202 ) and a link between @entity3521 and @entity5202 . OBJECTIVE: Our objective is to present our experience with 7 families with @entity1282 and @entity1712 . DESIGN: Case series. SETTING: One-thousand-bed community-based teaching hospital. @entity1 : Seventeen @entity1 from 7 families with @entity1282 and @entity1712 . METHODS: Direct clinical and endoscopic examination with review of radiologic and pathologic data. RESULTS: Twelve @entity1 had @entity5202 alone, one had @entity14761 ( @entity14761 ) alone, one had @entity5202 and @entity14761 , and 3 geriatric @entity1 had @entity3521 (one with @entity14761 and @entity1897 [ @entity1897 ] and one with @entity1897 ). @entity5202 spanned 2 generations in 4 families and involved 2 brothers in one family. LIMITATIONS: This was a case series. CONCLUSION: We propose a @entity1282 characterized by @entity1712 in the form of @entity5202 , @entity14761 , or @entity1897 and @entity3521 in older generations.
