Familial adult renal neoplasia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the tumorigenesis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has partially come from studies of RCC related familial cancer syndromes such as von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease and hereditary papillary RCC (HPRC). These studies have led to the identification of RCC related genes, which, besides allowing accurate diagnosis of these diseases, have been found mutated or abnormally expressed in the sporadic counterparts of these familial renal tumours. To date, a number of renal tumour related syndromes have been described. We review recent advances in this field and discuss a genetic approach to managing familial cases of renal tumours occasionally encountered by cancer geneticists and urologists.

Dermatologic manifestations of parathyroid-related disorders.
Dermatologic manifestations of parathyroid-related disorders, although rare in sporadic cases, are not uncommon in familial syndromes. Patients with familial hyperparathyroidism have several types of skin lesions. In multiple endocrine neoplasia 1, patients commonly have angiofibromas (85%) and collagenomas (70%), lesions that show loss of one 11q13 allele, the molecular abnormality in multiple...

متن کاملRET codon 618 mutations in Saudi families with multiple endocrine neoplasia Type 2A and familial medullary thyroid carcinoma.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Certain diseases such as multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) 2A, MEN 2B, familial and sporadic medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and renal dysgenesis are related to abnormalities of the RET protein. Our aim was to evaluate the frequency of RET mutation in 10 Saudi families with MEN type 2A and familial MTC. DESIGN AND SETTING A cross-sectional prospective study of pat...

متن کاملColchicine myopathy in a patient with familial Mediterranean fever and normal renal function.
Introduction Patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) routinely take large daily doses of colchicine to both prevent and abort acute attacks (1,2) and to reduce the risk of developing amyloidosis (3). Unfortunately, colchicine can also cause a number of toxic side effects, including neuromyopathy. Almost all cases of colchicine neuromyopathy previously described have been associated wit...
