Abstract
Study of mortality in the United States from Letterer-Siwe Disease revealed a striking concentration of deaths in the first 2 years of life and aggregation in five sets of siblings, including one pair of twins. These findings indicate that Letterer-Siwe disease (in common with certain childhood neoplasms) has prenatal origins.Keywords
