angiomyolipoma/프롤린

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a relatively rare autosomal dominant disease which involves multiple organs, including the brain, kidney, lung, skin and heart. Renal angiomyolipomas (RAML) are the main causes of mortality in patients with TSC. The preferred treatment for RAML is the use of mTOR

Background: Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare multisystem disease almost exclusively affecting women which causes loss of lung function, lymphatic abnormalities and angiomyolipomas. LAM occurs sporadically and in people with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).

We discovered that 90.3% of patients with angiomyolipomas, lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), and tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) carry the arginine variant of codon 72 (R72) of TP53 and that R72 increases the risk for angiomyolipoma. R72 transactivates NOTCH1 and NODAL better
