Abstract excerpt
To investigate the possible role of genomic aberrations of chromosome 9p21-22 in the tumorigenesis of human renal cell carcinoma (RCC), 10 RCC cell lines, 55 primary RCCs and 5 metastatic lesions were studied by Southern blotting and polymerase chain reaction-based analysis. Nine of 10 RCC cell lines showed a homozygous deletion of MTSI/CDKN2/(p16), while only 1 in 55 primary tumors had this deletion. Loss of...
