Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, highly metastatic skin tumor of neuroectodermal origin. The disease shares clinical and histopathological features with small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). The genetic mechanisms underlying the development and tumor progression of MCC are poorly understood. We re

Cowden disease (CD) is a rare, autosomal dominant inherited cancer syndrome characterized by multiple benign and malignant lesions in a wide spectrum of tissues. While individuals with CD have an increased risk of breast and thyroid neoplasms, the primary features of CD are hamartomas. The gene for
## Abstract Germline mutation of the folliculin gene (BHD) at chromosome 17p11.2 is associated with the development of multiplex hamartomas of the hair follicles, chromophobe renal cell carcinomas (RCC) and renal oncocytomas (RO). We have analyzed the folliculin gene with sequencing for mutations a
We have analyzed the BRAF locus on chromosome 7q34 with microsatellites for allelic changes and exons 11 and 15 of the BRAF with sequencing for mutations in 50 kidney cancers including 20 papillary, 15 conventional and 15 chromophobe renal cell carcinomas (RCC). Allelic changes at the BRAF locus wer
