Abstract excerpt
Germline mutation of the folliculin gene (BHD) at chromosome 17p11.2 is associated with the development of multiplex hamartomas of the hair follicles, chromophobe renal cell carcinomas (RCC) and renal oncocytomas (RO). We have analyzed the folliculin gene with sequencing for mutations and the chromosome 17p11.2 with microsatellites for allelic changes in sporadic ROs and chromophobe RCCs. Allelic loss at...
