A novel activating somatic mutation in EPAS1, coding for HIF-2α, in a patient with a paraganglioma and sickle cell disease.

Abstract excerpt

Pheochromocytomasand paragangliomas (collectively referred as PPGLs) are highly heritable neoplasms arise from chromaffin cells of neural crest tissues; 40% of patients with PPGLs harbour germline pathogenic variants (PV), which up to 45% of patients exhibit somatic mutations in similar susceptibility genes. Endothelial PAS domain-containing protein-1 [also known as hypoxia inducible factor-2α, HIF-2α] is encoded...
