Prospective Fumarate Hydratase Tumor Predisposition Syndrome Screening in Patients With Uterine Smooth Muscle Tumors: Age, Morphology, Fumarate Hydratase/S-(2-succino) Cysteine Immunohistochemistry, and Germline Testing.

Abstract excerpt

Fumarate hydratase tumor predisposition syndrome (FHTPS) is caused by germline fumarate hydratase (FH) pathogenic variants (PVs). Most women with FHTPS develop FH-deficient (FHD) uterine leiomyomas (ULs), which arise 10 to 15 years earlier than aggressive FHD-renal cell carcinoma. We evaluate a previously proposed FHTPS screening strategy for women with ULs. This 5-year, prospective and retrospective study...
