Renal medullary carcinomas depend upon <i>SMARCB1</i> loss and are sensitive to proteasome inhibition
2018-12-05
Abstract excerpt
Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) is a rare and deadly kidney cancer in patients of African descent with sickle cell trait. Through direct-to-patient outreach, we developed genomically faithful patient-derived models of RMC. Using whole genome sequencing, we identified intronic fusion events in one SMARCB1 allele with concurrent loss of the other allele, confirming that SMARCB1 loss occurs in RMC. Biochemical and f...
