A Novel Germline Mutation in <i>BAP1</i> Predisposes to Familial Clear-Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
25 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) clusters in some families. Familial RCC arises from mutations in several genes, including the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor, which is also mutated in sporadic RCC. However, a significant percentage of familial RCC remains unexplained. Recently, we discovered that the BRCA1-associated protein-1 (BAP1) gene is mutated in sporadic RCC. The BAP1 gene encodes a nuclear...
