Overview
Folliculin (FLCN) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions in the pathogenesis of a rare form of kidney cancer. The protein may also have roles in tumor suppression, colorectal tumorigenesis, and energy/nutrient sensing in certain signaling pathways. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions and insertions, and in-frame deletions and insertions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and stomach cancer.
