We report on a mother who had been treated for a ganglioneuroblastoma and her daughter who had a long segment aganglionosis. Review of the relevant literature and recent molecular findings warrant the conclusion that most likely, there is a causal relation between these two neurocristopathies.

The protein cyclin D1 (CD1), which belongs to a family of proteins functioning as regulators of CDKs (cyclin-dependent kinases) throughout the cell cycle, has been immunohistochemically detected in a wide variety of human malignant tumors. The aim of the present study was to investigate immunohistochemically the expression and distribution of CD1 in the developing human peripheral sympathetic nervous system (PSNS) and in childhood peripheral neuroblastic tumors (neuroblastomas, ganglioneuroblastomas, and ganglioneuromas). The above mentioned fetal and neoplastic tissues represent an in vivo model in which undifferentiated neuroblastic cells undergo ganglion cell differentiation.
