*

SIRs and bootstrapped 95% CIs for cancers in first- and second-degree relatives of triad members fulfilling Amsterdam-I criteria, by microsatellite instability status as well as ascertainment mode.

Computed by comparing the SIR of the DNA mismatch repair groups (group A vs group B).

Number of first- and second-degree relatives, excluding triad members, included in the analysis.

§

Statistically significant estimate compared with the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results population.9

Zero cancer events, so no bootstrap 95% CI was generated.
