von Hippel–Lindau mutation in mice recapitulates Chuvash polycythemia via hypoxia-inducible factor-2α signaling and splenic erythropoiesis
8 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
The R200W mutation in the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor protein (pVHL) is unique in that it is not associated with tumor development, but rather with Chuvash polycythemia, a heritable disease characterized by elevated hematocrit and increased serum levels of erythropoietin and VEGF. Previous studies have implicated hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) signaling in this disorder, although the...
