Primary malignant neoplasm 		0.010 Biomarker group BEFREE HIF-stabilizing mutations have been detected in the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene, as well as in other genes, such as succinate dehydrogenase (SDHx), fumarate hydratase (FH) and transcription elongation factor B subunit 1 (TCEB1), as well as the gene that encodes HIF2α itself: EPAS1<sup>HIF2α</sup> Importantly, the recent discovery of <i>EPAS1</i> mutations in PPGLs and the results of comprehensive <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> studies revealing their oncogenic roles characterized a hitherto unknown direct mechanism of HIF2α activation in human cancer. 28667082 2017
