A number of cancer genes have been identified by the study of hereditary human cancers and shown to be involved in sporadic genesis of the same tumors. We have identified a germline mutation in the rat homologue of the human tuberous sclerosis (TSC2) predisposing gene in the Eker rat model. In this

## Abstract Immunohistochemical, immunoblotting, and DNAβsequencing analyses were performed on hepatocellular carcinomas induced in rats chronically fed BR931, a peroxisome proliferator, to determine whether the tumors carried mutations or other alterations of the __p53__ gene. None were detected.
## Abstract To investigate the importance of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in bladder carcinogenesis, we determined the status of the expression of the __MDMβ2__ and __p53__ genes and genetic alterations in the __p53__ gene in five bladder carcinoma cell lines and one kidney urothelial carci
