摘要:
This review summarizes information on inherited epithelial tumors of the kidney. Emphasis is placed on identifying clinically distinct inherited forms of renal cancer because each distinct clinical syndrome defines a different renal cancer susceptibility gene. So far, two genes that predispose to epithelial cancers of the kidney have been identified, VHL and the MET proto-oncogene. Available evidence suggests that several renal cancer genes remain to be identified.
