Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor gene and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF1A) play a pivotal role in renal carcinogenesis. This study was aimed to clarify the influence of VHL and HIF1A polymorphisms on renal cell cancer (RCC) susceptibility and survival. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We genotyped four potentially functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (rs779805 in VHL and rs11549465,...
