Scientists hunt genetic clues to rare disease that raises cancer risk
NCT ID NCT00033137
Summary
This study aims to better understand Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome, a rare inherited condition. Researchers want to learn how the gene that causes BHD increases a person's risk for developing kidney tumors, lung cysts, and skin growths. The study is enrolling about 950 people with BHD or their family members to collect health information and genetic samples. The goal is to map the disease's progression and identify genetic patterns to help guide future care.
