Hi All--I think the question of heredity and leukemia in families is intriguing. There was a lot of cancer on my dad's side of the family. My dad's mother and 2 of his sisters had leukemia. My dad had cll. My sister & one cousin have cll. And my brother was recently diagnose with MGUS, a possible precursor to myeloma. When I saw a geneticist & asked him about heredity & leukemia, his answer was "We have no evidence at this time." So he left it open. But it's hard to believe there isn't some physiological connection when you see more than one occurrence in a family.
