Abstract excerpt
A series of 20 capillary haemangioblastomas of the central nervous system was screened for mutations of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumour suppressor gene by single strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and heteroduplex analysis. Aberrant polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products were detected in ten tumours. DNA sequencing of these PCR products revealed that seven tumours had frameshift mutations due either...
