Defective placental vasculogenesis causes embryonic lethality in VHL-deficient mice
19 Aug 1997
Abstract excerpt
Inheritance of an inactivated form of the VHL tumor suppressor gene predisposes patients to develop von Hippel-Lindau disease, and somatic VHL inactivation is an early genetic event leading to the development of sporadic renal cell carcinoma. The VHL gene was disrupted by targeted homologous recombination in murine embryonic stem cells, and a mouse line containing an inactivated VHL allele was generated. While...
