Abstract excerpt
Human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common malignant disease of the kidney characterized by dedifferentiation of renal epithelial cells. Our previous experiments showed that most RCCs have a loss of function of the tissue-specific transcription factor hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF) 1alpha. Detailed analyses of the 10 exons encoding HNF1alpha in 32 human RCCs by single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis...
