With this report we add evidence to the growing body of information suggesting a hereditary factor in the aetiology of urothelial tumours. Clustering of four members from the same nuclear family is unlikely to be caused by environmental factors alone. This work was supported by the Icelandic Cancer Society, the Science Fund of Iceland, the Memorial Fund og Bergthora Magnusdottir and Jakob B. Bjarnason and the University Research fund.
