Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) control the cellular response to hypoxia and, when dysregulated, contribute to tumorigenesis. Previously, we identified 2 gain-of-function somatic mutations in patients presenting with multiple paragangliomas or somatostatinomas, and polycythemia. Here, we report 2 additional unique HIF2A mutations, which disrupt the hydroxylation domain recognized by prolyl hydroxylase domain-2...
