Communicated by Victor A. McKusick von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is an inherited neoplastic disorder characterized by the development of tumors in the eyes, brain, spinal cord, inner ear, adrenal gland, pancreas, kidney, and epididymis. The VHL tumor suppressor gene was identified in 1993. Initial

A series of 20 capillary haemangioblastomas of the central nervous system was screened for mutations of the von Hippel-Lindau ( VHL) tumour suppressor gene by single strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and heteroduplex analysis. Aberrant polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products were detected i
A homozygous gene deletion at the GST1 locus of genomic DNA isolated from peripheral blood was investigated for its relationship with several types of cancer using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. DNA samples were prepared from blood obtained from 128 healthy blood donors and 150 patie
We report here the identification of a 4 bp deletion in the 'yT globln gene promoter by means of Fnu4HI digestion of DNA amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This deietlon has been prevlously associated with haplotype II p-thalassemia in Sardinia. This simple, non-radioactive procedure shou
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
