Since 2007, we have awarded about £4.5 million to promote research into BHD syndrome. During this time:
- the number of researchers studying BHD syndrome has doubled;
- the Folliculin mutation database was created;
- a clinical trial testing a cream for the fibrofolliculoma symptoms of BHD was begun;
- a UK BHD patient registry was developed;
- FLCN was found to be involved in several additional signalling pathways, connecting BHD syndrome to related genetic kidney disorders on a molecular level;
- the structure of a portion of the Folliculin protein has been solved;
- the BHD Symposium was launched and now is held every year.
See the Publications page for further information on these BHD advances.
