title: Flow cytometric and genetic study of familial gonadal tumors.
abstract: Three cases of familial gonadal tumors are reported. Genetic studies were conducted in 2 cases: a brother and sister with embryonal carcinoma and a benign cystic teratoma, respectively, and a father and son with embryonal carcinoma. DNA flow cytometry of paraffin-embedded tumors and constitutional karyotyping were performed. Further genetic studies are emphasized.
