Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene mutations are detected in noninherited, sporadic human renal cell carcinomas (RCs) at a high frequency. We recently identified a germline mutation in the rat homologue of the human tuberous sclerosis (TSC2) predisposing RC gene in the Eker rat model, and in this study we searched for mutations of the Tsc2 gene in chemically induced non-Eker rat RCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS:...
