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

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
Von Hippel-Lindau disease is an autosomal dominantly inherited disorder characterised by the development of haemangioblastomas, renal carcinomas, retinal angiomata, pancreatic tumours, and phaeochromocytomas . The tumour suppressor gene responsible for VHL has been mapped to 3p25 and a partial sequ
## Abstract Deletions of the short arm of chromosome 3 are often observed in a specific subset of aggressive neuroblastomas (NBs) with loss of distal 11q and without __MYCN__ amplification. The critical deleted region encompasses the locus of the von HippelβLindau gene (__VHL__, 3p25). Constitution
