Abstract excerpt
The Eker rat develops hereditary renal carcinomas (RCs) due to two hit mutations of the tumor suppressor gene, Tsc2. We previously identified using representational difference analysis (RDA), four genes that were expressed more abundantly in an Eker rat RC cell line than in normal kidney tissue. One gene, Erc (expressed in renal carcinoma) showed sequence homology to the mouse and human megakaryocyte potentiating...
