Abstract excerpt
The gene defect for hereditary papillary renal carcinoma (HPRC) has recently been mapped to chromosome 7q, and germline mutations of MET (also known as c-met) at 7q31 have been detected in patients with HPRC (ref. 2). Tumours from these patients commonly show trisomy of chromosome 7 when analysed...
