A gene that makes an enzyme called fumarase, which helps cells in the body use oxygen and make energy. Mutated (changed) forms of the FH gene may cause cells to lose the ability to use oxygen. This may increase the growth of some cells, including abnormal cells and cancer cells. The mutated FH gene has been found in patients with an inherited condition called hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC). Patients with HLRCC have an increased risk of kidney cancer and tumors in the skin and uterus. Also called fumarate hydratase gene.
Potentially linked to Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma
