According to the Knudson two-mutational-event theory, two mutations at a genetic locus may be required for the development of some cancers. Persons who have inherited a defect in one chromosome and therefore require only one more mutation for cancer development are at a higher risk of manifesting cancer at a younger age than persons without an inherited mutation, who need two acquired "hits." This difference allows one to distinguish familial and sporadic types of the same malignancy by evaluating age of disease onset.
