Abstract excerpt
We analyzed the genetic alterations of VHL, HGF/SF, and Met genes and the expression pattern of HGF/SF and Met protein in 26 renal cell carcinomas (RCCs). We found five mutations of the VHL gene and frequent LOH (50%) only in non-papillary clear cell RCC. We found six cases in which the CpG island of VHL was methylated. In addition, one missense mutation of the HGF/SF gene was detected in clear cell RCC. HGF/SF...
