SWI/SNF tumor suppressor gene PBRM1/BAF180 in human clear cell kidney cancer.
Academic Article
Overview
abstract
Mutations within chromatin modulating protein complexes have dominated the novel cancer gene landscape. However, little is known about how individual aberrations contribute to cancer formation. A novel Pbrm1 kidney cancer mouse model examining the role of Pbrm1 provides much needed clue concerning how SWI/SNF complexes might function as tumor suppressors.
