title: Renal involvement in tuberous sclerosis complex and von Hippel-Lindau disease: shared disease mechanisms?
abstract: Tuberous sclerosis complex and von Hippel-Lindau disease are distinct autosomal dominant tumor suppressor syndromes that can exhibit similar renal phenotypes and seem to share some signaling pathway components. Similarities exist in the current clinical management of, and the newly identified potential therapeutic approaches for, these conditions. This Review summarizes the pathophysiologic and therapeutic overlap between tuberous sclerosis complex and von Hippel-Lindau disease and highlights the results of recent drug trials in these settings.
