## Communicated by Albert de la Chapelle To investigate the nature of somatic von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) mutations, we analyzed 173 primary sporadic human renal cell carcinomas for mutations of the VHL tumor suppressor gene, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and single-strand conformational polym
Human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common malignant disease of the kidney characterized by dedifferentiation of renal epithelial cells. Our previous experiments showed that most RCCs have a loss of function of the tissue-specific transcription factor hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF) 1Ξ±. Detailed a
