Abstract excerpt
Decreased levels of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumour suppressor protein are associated with up-regulation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), leading to increased tumour proliferation, angiogenesis and progression. The role of erythropoietin (EPO), a target gene for HIF, remains unknown for sporadic...
