Mutations of the hSNF5/INI1 Gene in Renal Rhabdoid Tumors With Second Primary Brain Tumors

About 10%-15% of rhabdoid tumors of the kidney in young infants are associated with separate primary tumors of the central nervous system. Demographic and outcome data from studies of the hSNF5/INI1 gene in four patients with rhabdoid tumors are presented to help clarify the role of this gene in pre...

Zusammenfassung:About 10%-15% of rhabdoid tumors of the kidney in young infants are associated with separate primary tumors of the central nervous system. Demographic and outcome data from studies of the hSNF5/INI1 gene in four patients with rhabdoid tumors are presented to help clarify the role of this gene in predisposition to these rare tumor types.
