A neoplastic syndrome most often caused by mutations in the hSNF5/INI1 tumor suppressor gene. It is characterized by the development of an atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor in infancy and early childhood. This highly aggressive tumor develops in the central nervous system as an isolated lesion or in combination with extrarenal or renal rhabdoid tumor. Patients may also develop other central nervous system malignancies including medulloblastoma, supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor, and choroid plexus carcinoma.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for familial rhabdoid tumor has been reported in the published literature.
Estimated prevalence: <1 in 1,000,000 (VERY_RARE).
1 clinical trial registered, 1 recruiting. Interventions under study include other interventions. Research is primarily sponsored by academic and government institutions.
33 publications have been identified in PubMed for familial rhabdoid tumor. Research spans Case Report / Case Series (33%), Review / Meta-Analysis (30%), and Gene Therapy / Novel Therapeutics (12%).
