ABSTRACT: Objective
To characterize the clinical manifestations and genetic basis of a familial cancer syndrome in patients with lipomas and Birt-Hogg-Dubé-like clinical manifestations including fibrofolliculomas and trichodiscomas and kidney cancer.Methods
Genomic analysis of blood and renal tumor DNA was performed. Inheritance pattern, phenotypic manifestations, and clinical and surgical management were documented. Cutaneous, subcutaneous, and renal tumor pathologic features were characterized.Results
Affected individuals were found to be at risk for a highly penetrant and lethal form of bilateral, multifocal papillary renal cell carcinoma. Whole genome sequencing identified a germline pathogenic variant in PRDM10 (c.2029 T>C, p.Cys677Arg), which cosegregated with disease.
