The OGG1 gene, which codes for a DNA repair protein with antimutator activity, is located on chromosome 3p25, a frequent site of allelic deletions in many types of human tumors, including renal clear cell cancers. We present the analysis of 99 renal tumors for alterations in the OGG1 gene to determine its association with tumorigenesis. Loss of heterozygosity in the 3p25 region was found for 85% of the...
