Abstract
A renal cell carcinoma with an unbalanced t(X;3) in a patient with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome has previously been reported. This rearrangement suggested loss of genetic material from the short arm of chromosome 3, which we are now able to confirm by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of tumor DNA using polymorphic probes derived from 3p. The VHL gene has recently been mapped to 3p, therefore loss of this region in this VHL-related renal cell carcinoma may have cogent significance for tumor development in this interesting cancer-predisposing syndrome.Entities:
