ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure relates to Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, nucleic acids encoding the BHD gene, and antibodies that specifically bind to the BHD protein (folliculin). In addition, the present disclosure relates to methods of diagnosing BHD disease and related conditions, such as spontaneous pneumothorax and kidney cancer, by detection of altered expression of folliculin using folliculin-specific antibodies.
