Abstract

An 11-year-old presented with bilateral renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with FH-deficient RCC confirmed by immunohistochemistry. WGS confirmed no coding variants but identified a rare intronic variant in FH (c.1391-269A>G). We illustrate how combined pathological and genomic investigations enabled a precise diagnosis of the underlying cause of an ultra-rare clinical presentation.
