Study of hereditary kidney cancer and skin tumors
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This research study helps doctors understand a rare genetic condition called HLRCC that causes specific types of skin tumors and kidney cancer to run in families. By studying your genetics and medical history, researchers hope to improve how doctors detect and treat this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or a blood relative have signs of HLRCC, such as multiple skin lumps (leiomyomas), kidney cancer, or uterine fibroids
- You are at least 2 years old
- You are willing to provide a blood sample for genetic testing
- You sign a consent form (parent/guardian signs if you're under 18) showing you understand the study
- You have no exclusion criteria (this study accepts almost all eligible people)

This research study helps doctors understand inherited kidney cancers and related conditions that run in families. Researchers collect medical information and blood samples to identify genetic causes and improve how these conditions are diagnosed and treated.
This research study examines the genes behind Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome, a condition that increases kidney cancer risk. Researchers want to understand who inherits this condition and how to better identify and help people at risk.
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people with cancer or suspected cancer, or from their blood relatives. Researchers use these samples to better understand cancer and develop new treatments.
This study looks at genetic features of kidney cancer by testing tumor samples. The goal is to find biomarkers—specific signs—that may help predict what kind of kidney cancer it is.
This study looks at people who have rare or unusual cancers or who may have an inherited (family) risk for cancer. It helps researchers learn what genetic or other factors might be involved by collecting family history and medical records, including pathology slides.
This study screens people who may have an inherited risk for certain cancers due to their personal or family medical history or known gene changes. By completing a survey, you can help researchers find the right study for you and learn more about your cancer risk.
