Analysis of fumarate hydratase mutations in a population‐based series of early onset uterine leiomyosarcoma patients
13 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations in fumarate hydratase (FH) gene at 1q43 predispose to hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) syndrome. In HLRCC, the most common clinical features are leiomyomas of the skin and uterus, and in a subset of the families, renal cell cancer (RCC) and uterine leiomyosarcoma (ULMS) occur frequently at young age. This study was conducted to evaluate the possible contribution of FH...
