FLCN(folliculin),癌症关联基因,基因ID:201163,该基因位于17号染色体的Smith-Magenis综合征区域。该基因突变与Birt-Hogg-Dube综合征有关,后者以纤维滤泡瘤、肾肿瘤、肺囊肿和气胸为特征。该基因的选择性剪接导致编码不同亚型的两个转录变体。This gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Mutations in this gene are associated with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome, which is characterized by fibrofolliculomas, renal tumors, lung cysts, and pneumothorax. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms.关联癌症:乳头状肾细胞癌。关联化疗药物:依维莫司,Sirolimus [USAN:BAN:INN]。
