Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: VHL, the von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor gene, has no microsatellites, but rather single nucleotide polymorphisms inside the gene. However, their low heterozygosity is unfavorable for loss of heterozygosity analysis. We examined whether our modified single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping method would be useful for allelic loss analysis of the VHL gene in heterozygous and homozygous genotypes of...
