Abstract excerpt
Inactivation of tumour suppressor gene(s) (TSGs) on 3p appears to be a critical event in the pathogenesis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CC-RCC). Analysis of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in sporadic RCC samples has implicated roles for TSGs in three specific regions of 3p in RCC development: (1) 3p12-p14, which includes the breakpoint of the familial t(3;8) constitutional translocation involved in hereditary...
