FH variant pathogenicity promotes purine salvage pathway dependence in kidney cancer
2022-08-15
Abstract excerpt
The tricarboxylic citric acid cycle enzyme fumarate hydratase (FH) is a tumor suppressor. When lost in cells, its substrate fumarate accumulates to mM levels and drives oncogenic signaling and transformation. Germline alterations lead to an autosomal dominant condition known as hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) where patients are predisposed to various benign tumors and an aggressive form of...
