EGF-r gene copy number changes in renal cell carcinoma detected by fluorescencein situ hybridization
1 Apr 1998
Abstract excerpt
Expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-r) is a frequent event in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). To investigate the role of EGF-r gene copy number changes related to EGF-r overexpression, 50 RCC specimens were examined by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunohistochemistry. Dual-labelling FISH with a repetitive pericentromeric probe for chromosome 7 and a probe for the EGF-r gene (at 7p13)...
