Welcome, @michavril. @dc1950 can share her experience with testing.

Mayo Clinic labs does Birt-Hogg-Dube Syndrome, FLCN, Full Gene Analysis (https://www.mayocliniclabs.com/test-catalog/overview/614584). Is your husband a patient at a comprehensive cancer center like Mayo Clinic? Is there a family history of BHD?

Yes my husband’s mother had cancer at 23 of the colon and recently thyroid cancer and wad no family history prior to her at 23. His dad died of cancer at 58.He has had 16 collapsed lungs and 4 lung surgeries. He saw a ER pulmonologist with his previous chest tube and surgery last month and hr immediately noticed my husband’s skin issue and asked him if he had ever been tested . The tried to get him while in the hospital with no luck.
