Abstract excerpt
Mutational inactivation of the VHL gene is the cause of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease, an autosomal dominant hereditary cancer syndrome predisposing to haemangioblastomas, pheochromocytomas and clear-cell renal carcinomas. The gene product (pVHL) functions as an adapter in cellular processes including cell growth and apoptosis. VHL mutation analysis was carried out in 426 unrelated subjects with phenotypes...
