| Our intent has been to identify African American males diagnosed with prostate cancer between the ages of 40 and 75 and registering them along with their at risk relatives into a program of cancer education, cancer screening, and early intervention to reduce disparities in prostate cancer incidence and mortality rates in the African American community in Nebraska and Mississippi. Family history of prostate and other cancers is being recorded with ... |

|
| Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are complex heritable neurodevelopmental disorders. It is likely that these disorders include individuals with different familial etiopathological mechanisms, and thus identifying biologically homogeneous subgroups of affected individuals and families is an important step to speed identification of risk genes and the development of more individualized and effective treatments. Using eye movement testing, we previously identified a profile of neurophysiological alterations in unaffected parents and siblings of ... |

| Breast cancer is the most commonly occurring cancer among women. Many risk factors have been identified but a positive family history remains among the most important ones established for breast cancer. Mutations in the currently known high-risk breast cancer genes (such as BRCA1/2, etc) are common in familial breast cancer, but they can explain at best 20-25% of the overall excess familial risk and less than 5% of the total ... |

| Despite a decade of effort, we have seen limited success in increasing the personal preparedness of adults that is thought to create individual and community resiliency. Since inadequate preparation by adults can negatively affect children, preparedness education for children is now a priority. Unfortunately, the current resource-based model of preparedness presents a barrier to many children who have limited resources. This highlights the need to examine other approaches to achieving ... |

Moreover, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that the unemployment rate will remain above 8 percent until 2014. The official unemployment rate excludes those individuals who would like to work but have not searched for a job ... |

| The high poverty rate in Mexico depresses the development of human capital and creates a population vulnerable to organized crime and cartels. Remittances, Mexico's second largest source of foreign income, offer opportunities to the low-income families that receive this money. The government of Mexico has enacted a Tres por Uno program in an attempt to magnify the impact of these remittances on local communities, but this plan has proven largely ... |

| Prostate cancer (PCA) is the most common cancer in men and, second to lung cancer, causes the greatest number of deaths in American males (1,2). While the exact etiology of PCA is largely unknown, it is a multifactorial disease in which several environmental and genetic factors are likely involved (3,4). Epidemiological studies have shown that environmental factors and lifestyle contribute to the development of the disease (5). North Americans and ... |

| liBesides family history of cancer and an individual's age, no single etiologic factor can identify women at an increased risk for the disease. Approximately 10% of all cases of breast cancer exhibit a familial pattern of incidence. Efforts to identify the genetic basis of familial breast cancer reached fruition some years ago, when the breast-cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2 were identified. However, recent studies have suggested that mutations in ... |

| A positive family history, present in about 30% of breast cancer cases, has been shown to double a woman's risk of breast cancer. The genetic factors responsible are largely unknown, although the autosomal dominant, relatively high penetrant genes BRCA1/2 may account for 3%. It has been hypothesized that susceptibility genes of lower penetrance may also affect breast cancer risk, and a likely group of such genes are those that regulate ... |

| Germline mutations in breast cancer susceptibility genes account for 8% of all breast cancer cases. BRCA1 on 17q12 and BRCA2 on 13q12-13 are implicated in 50%-60% of breast cancer families, and they are both likely to also have an impact in sporadic breast cancer cases. Recently defined loci on chromosome 8p 12-22 are frequently lost in sporadic breast cancers and there is evidence for families with linkage to these loci. ... |

|
| There is considerable interest in how pregnancy rates for Navy sailors compare with overall pregnancy rates in the United States. The short answer is that Navy rates are considerably below the U.S. rates. Somewhat less directly, we also conclude that the marital status patterns for pregnant sailors probably do not differ from those in the United States overall. |
