Abstract excerpt
The role of the APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) tumor suppressor gene in the genesis of nonpapillary renal cell carcinoma is addressed. The frequency of allelic deletion in the APC gene was analyzed using microdissection of the tumor specimens and a PCR (polymerase chain reaction)-based assay for the detection of intragenic loss of heterozygosity (LOH). Twelve of 29 carcinomas investigated were informative...
