Integrative Genomic Analyses of Sporadic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Define Disease Subtypes and Potential New Therapeutic Targets
18 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
Sporadic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most common type of adult kidney cancer, is often associated with genomic copy number aberrations on chromosomes 3p and 5q. Aberrations on chromosome 3p are associated with inactivation of the tumor suppressor gene von-Hippel Lindau (VHL), which activates the hypoxia-inducible factors HIF1α and HIF2α. In contrast, ccRCC genes on chromosome 5q remain to be...
