title: [Familial myeloproliferative syndromes. Study of 6 families and review of literature].
abstract: Ten clinical observations concerning six families with familial myeloproliferative disorders are reported. Family no. 1 : two brothers, RES with myelosclerosis and ROS with chronic myeloid leukemia. Family no. 2 : PG atypical myeloproliferative syndrome and his brother polycythemia vera. Family no. 3 : DF myelosclerosis and her son (DR) polycythemia vera. Family no. 4 : DM, polycythemia vera, the mother and a sister with splenomegaly. The brother died with myelofibrosis. Family no. 5 : GA and ML, cousins with polycythemia vera. Family no. 6 : MB and ZG, a brother and sister with polycythemia vera. No consanguinity and no toxic, infections or malignant etiology were found in these families. The literature reviewed emphasises the rarity of the familial incidence of myeloproliferative disorders.
