Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHDS) is a rare disease with autosomal dominant inheritance that manifests through skin tumors, pulmonary cystic lesions, and renal tumors. A mutation of located on chromosome 17p11.2, which encodes a tumor-suppressor protein (folliculin), is responsible for the development of BHDS. We report the case of a patient presenting with spontaneous pneumothorax, in whom a familial genetic study revealed a novel nonsense mutation: p.(Arg379*) in .
Birt-Hogg-Dubé综合征(BHDS)是一种罕见的常染色体显性遗传病,表现为皮肤肿瘤、肺囊性病变和肾肿瘤。位于17号染色体p11.2上的一种突变,该突变编码一种肿瘤抑制蛋白(卵泡抑素),是BHDS发病的原因。我们报告了一例出现自发性气胸的患者,对其进行的家族基因研究发现了一种新的无义突变:在[相关基因]中的p.(Arg379*)。
