liver cancer dependent molecule FLCN [Hepatocarcinogenesis] PMID:17028174 PMID:26334087 folliculin [Hepatocarcinogenesis] NCBI-Mouse-GeneID:216805 NCBI-Rat-GeneID:303185 NCBI-Human-GeneID:201163 This gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Mutations in this gene are associated with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome, which is characterized by fibrofolliculomas, renal tumors, lung cysts, and pneumothorax. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] FLCN (mol)
