The tumor suppressor gene folliculin (FLCN) is essential to normal lung function in patients with the rare disease Birt-Hogg-Dube (BHD) syndrome, according to researchers at Penn Medicine. The latter is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs, skin and kidneys. Folliculin''s absence or mutated state has a cascading effect that leads to deteriorated lung integrity and an impairment of lung function, as reported in their findings in the current issue of iCell ...Sunday 13 April 2014
