Renal medullary carcinomas depend upon SMARCB1 loss and are sensitive to proteasome inhibition
12 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) is a rare and deadly kidney cancer in patients of African descent with sickle cell trait. We have developed faithful patient-derived RMC models and using whole-genome sequencing, we identified loss-of-function intronic fusion events in one SMARCB1 allele with concurrent loss of the other allele. Biochemical and functional characterization of these models revealed that RMC requires...
