- Sarah Abou Alaiwi, MD discusses her recently presented bench to bedside research with Monty Pal, MD. She explains that PBRM1 is frequently mutated around 40% on Renal Cell Carcinoma. It is part of this Mammalian SWI/SNF complex, which is really what drove interest in this complex. This complex is really huge. It has 29 subunits. It's frequently mutated in around 20% of all human cancers. There is...
