Birt-Hogg-Dube (BHD) syndrome is an autosomal dominant genodermatosis characterized by the development of small, dome-shaped papules on the face, neck, and upper trunk. It has been associated with ...

The large-scale study, involving over 550,000 participants, identified a variant in the FLCN gene that elevates the risk of developing Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome—a rare inherited disorder marked by ...

One in 3,000 people may carry a faulty gene linked to Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome ... a punctured lung. The gene, FLCN, is associated with symptoms such as benign skin tumors, lung cysts, and an ...

UK researchers have found that one in 3,000 people could be carrying a defective gene that significantly raises their risk of having a punctured lung. Punctured lung -- known as pneumothorax -- is ...

Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome is a rare, inherited disorder characterised by benign skin tumours, lung cysts, and an increased risk of kidney cancer. However, not every case of punctured lung is caused by a ...

The Genetic Connection The gene identified in this research is known as FLCN, which is associated with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome. This syndrome manifests through symptoms such as benign skin tumors, ...

Researchers identified a specific variant in the FLCN gene that predisposes carriers to Birt-Hogg-Dube (BHD) syndrome—a rare inherited disorder associated with benign skin tumours, lung cysts, and a ...

is linked to a condition known as Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, symptoms of which include benign skin tumours, lung cysts, and an increased risk of kidney cancer. In a study published today in the journal ...

The gene in question, FLCN, is linked to a condition known as Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, symptoms of which include benign skin tumours, lung cysts, and an increased risk of kidney cancer. In a study ...
