Abstract
We reviewed the charts of all patients with familial dysautonomia (n = 631) and found that 2% had been diagnosed with tumors. We hypothesize that the IkappaB Kinase-associated protein gene mutation, which causes aberrant RNA splicing in patients with familial dysautonomia, may contribute to tumorigenesis in this genetically homogenous patient population.Entities:
