Abstract excerpt
Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis and the polymerase chain reaction of the single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) method were conducted to assess the loss of heterozygosity of chromosome 17p and mutations of the p53 gene in 30 surgical specimens of human renal cell carcinoma. Six of 29 tumors (20.6%) showed loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 17p in RFLP analysis, and in none...
