Summary
This study follows families with a history of inherited kidney cancer to learn more about the disease's genetic causes and how it progresses. Researchers will collect blood, tissue, and urine samples from affected individuals and their relatives. The goal is to identify new genes linked to these cancers and improve future diagnosis and management. No experimental treatments are being tested.
