NCT ID NCT00050752

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 29 times

Summary

This study aims to find the genetic changes that cause hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell cancer (HLRCC), a condition that can lead to kidney tumors, painful skin bumps, and uterine fibroids. Researchers will study people with known or suspected HLRCC and their family members to understand how the disease develops and the risk of kidney cancer. Participants provide blood, tissue, and imaging samples for genetic analysis, but will not receive individual genetic results.
