Kidney cancer is not a single disease; it is made up of a number of cancers that occur in the kidney, each with a different histology, having a different clinical course, responding differently to therapy and caused by a different gene. Understanding the genetic basis of cancer of the kidney has significant implications for diagnosis and management of this disease. The VHL gene is the gene for clear cell kidney cancer. The VHL protein forms a complex that targets the hypoxia inducible factors for ubiquitin-mediated degradation. Knowledge of this pathway has provided the foundation for the development of a number of novel therapeutic approaches that have been approved by the FDA for treatment of this disease. The MET gene is the gene for the hereditary form of type 1 papillary renal carcinoma and has been found to be mutated in a subset of sporadic type 1 papillary kidney cancers. Clinical trials are currently ongoing with agents targeting the tyrosine kinase domain of MET in sporadic and hereditary forms of papillary kidney cancer. The BHD gene is the gene for the hereditary type of chromophobe kidney cancer. The BHD gene is thought to be involved in energy and/or nutrient sensing through the AMPK and mTOR signaling pathways. Hereditary Leiomyomatosis Renal Cell Carcinoma, a hereditary form of type 2 papillary renal carcinoma, is caused by inactivation of the Krebs cycle enzyme, fumarate hydratase (fumarase, FH). Loss of FH activity has been shown to alter the degradation of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) in a VHL-independent fashion. Knowledge of these kidney cancer gene pathways has enabled new approaches for the management of this disease and has provided the foundations for the development of targeted therapeutics for this disease.
