Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations in the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease tumor suppressor gene (TSG) convey a high risk of clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma (CC-RCC) and most sporadic CC-RCCs demonstrate somatic inactivation of the VHL TSG. However, the existence of further CC-RCC gatekeeper genes is implied by CC-RCC kindreds not linked to the VHL gene and the absence of somatic VHL inactivation in approximately 30% of sporadic...
