Abstract excerpt
Hereditary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in Eker rats results from an inherited insertional mutation in the Tsc2 tumor suppressor gene and provides a valuable experimental model to characterize the function of the Tsc2 gene product, tuberin in vivo. The Tsc2 mutation predisposes the Eker rat to develop renal tumors at an early age. The exact mechanism of Tsc2 mediated tumor suppression is not known, however, there...
