Abstract excerpt
The discovery and characterization of the von Hippel Lindau (VHL) syndrome has brought about tremendous advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms of renal cell carcinoma.

Recent investigations into other hereditary forms of kidney cancer with mutations in genes involving energy metabolism...
