Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the VHL gene cause von Hippel-Lindau disease, a cancer predisposing syndrome characterized by a variety of benign and malignant neoplasms. We report the molecular characterization of two sequence variants of the VHL gene: a synonymous substitution c.462 A>C in exon 2 and a duplication of 11 bp in the promoter region (c.-65_-55dup11). The first variant is a pathogenic mutation because, although it...
