  Although sunscreen use has increased and the likelihood of sunburns has decreased in more recent birth cohorts, individuals in melanoma-prone families have not reduced their overall sun exposure and had an increased likelihood of sunbed use in more recent birth cohorts. These observations demonstrate partial improvements in melanoma prevention and suggest that additional intervention strategies may be needed to achieve optimal sun-protective beha…

  Data collected in a study of ATIII deficiency also suggested familial variability of blood clotting times amongst genotypically normal individuals. A study of this variability under a variety of models demonstrates a clear age effect and within sibship similarity. There is also a clear parental effect, which could be either environmental or genetic. Even when parental effects are taken into account there remains some excess similarity between sib…
