Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most frequent form of kidney cancer in adults. Somatic mutations that inactivate the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene are the most common cause of RCC. The frequencies of molecular changes in the VHL gene in RCCs vary among different populations. So far, a single chromosomal-based study has been reported from a South Asian population. This report presents, for the first...
