Abstract excerpt
We screened for mutations in the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor gene and examined the relationship of these mutations with expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1alpha protein in human colorectal carcinomas. DNAs were extracted from 130 paraffin-embedded tumor specimens and subjected to polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis followed by direct...
