Regulation of Mitochondria Oxidative Metabolism by Tumor Suppressor FLCN

Birt-Hogg-Dube (BHD) syndrome is a hereditary hamartoma syndrome that predisposes patients to develop hair follicle tumors, lung cysts, and kidney cancer. Genetic studies of BHD patients have uncovered the causative gene, FLCN, but its function is incompletely understood. Here, Hasumi et al conduct...

Description
Summary:	Birt-Hogg-Dube (BHD) syndrome is a hereditary hamartoma syndrome that predisposes patients to develop hair follicle tumors, lung cysts, and kidney cancer. Genetic studies of BHD patients have uncovered the causative gene, FLCN, but its function is incompletely understood. Here, Hasumi et al conduct metabolic assays using FLCN-deficient muscle.
