Abstract excerpt
Allelic loss on the short arm of chromosome 3 (3p) is considered to be one of the early detectable events in the pathogenesis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Conflicting reports, however, suggest that this event may be absent in some renal tumors. The present study attempts to further define subgroups of renal tumors associated with 3p deletions. In addition, we have also attempted to identify late genetic events...
