Abstract excerpt
Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC) is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by the development of cutaneous and uterine leiomyomas and risk for development of an aggressive form of papillary renal cell cancer. HLRCC is caused by germline inactivating pathogenic variants in the fumarate hydratase (FH) gene, which encodes the enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of fumarate and...
