1 Nov 1995
Abstract excerpt
VHL disease is a dominantly inherited familial cancer syndrome with variable expression and age-dependent penetrance. The diagnosis of isolated cases is often delayed compared with familial cases, and estimates of the new mutation rate have varied more than 20-fold. To investigate the frequency and origin of de novo VHL gene mutations we have analysed: (i) families with identical mutations to determine if there...
