Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have demonstrated von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene abnormalities in renal cell carcinoma. Archival cytologic samples of renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) from two patients were evaluated for allelic loss of the VHL gene. Small clusters of renal carcinoma cells were dissected from cytocent...
