Abstract excerpt
The von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease gene on chromosome 3p25.5 has been cloned and shown to be mutated in the germline DNA of patients with VHL disease. In addition, approximately 60% of sporadic renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) have been shown to have a VHL gene mutation in fresh frozen tumor tissue and tumor-derived cell lines. The objective of this study was to test whether VHL gene mutations could be detected in...
