Abstract

CrRCC (chromophobe renal cell cancer) belongs to the group of non-clear cell cancer which accounts 4%-5% of RCC. Birt-Hogg-Dube Syndrome (BHDS), a subtype for crRCC, occurs due to the germline mutation of Folliculin (FLCN). Each disease has designated treatment and contrasting prognosis, but the histological features of this syndrome may overlap with the other subtypes of RCC which makes it difficult to differentiate and it has a limited amount of information available due to its uncommonness. This study aims to differentiate the pathway and genes involved in BHDS disease through NetworkAnalyst. The dataset was gathered from ArrayExpress and generated 395 significant DEGs in BHDS, which was then used to produce a pathway enrichment network and protein-protein interaction (PPI). Cytoskeletal protein binding correlating with hub genes KIT, RHOB, and UBC in BHDS indicates that this disease has a high risk for cell metastasis. This study gives a new promising therapeutic target for the said disease.
