EARLY ONSET HEREDITARY PAPILLARY RENAL CARCINOMA: GERMLINE MISSENSE MUTATIONS IN THE TYROSINE KINASE DOMAIN OF THE MET PROTO-ONCOGENE
15 Sept 2004
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Hereditary papillary renal carcinoma (HPRC) is characterized by a predisposition to multiple, bilateral papillary type 1 renal tumors caused by inherited activating missense mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain of the MET proto-oncogene. In the current study we evaluated the clinical phenotype and germline MET mutation of 3 new HPRC families. We describe the early onset clinical features of HPRC....
