Outline of Final Research Achievements

Pneumothorax , multiple lung cysts to opportunity was carried out to continue the FLCN gene diagnosis of Japanese BHDS was suspected Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome (BHDS) patients , diagnostic number of cases has exceeded the 200 cases.
Many mutations in Japanese exon 11 of c.1285dupC, of exon 12 c.1347_1353dupCCACCCT, was c.1533_1536delGATG of exon 13.Japan's first mutation, genomic deletion cases were also confirmed multiple cases.
A comparison of lung fibroblasts BHDS patients and controls, but proliferation ability was no difference, migratory ability of BHDS fibroblasts was decreased. FLCN gene expression level was not different, FLCN protein level of BHDS fibroblasts was decreased.
