Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) occurs predominantly as a sporadic disease but has familial forms. Cytogenetic and DNA deletion analyses show that both sporadic and familial RCC tumors arise as the result of chromosomal deletions in the 3p13-p26 region. von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is a hereditary, multifocal syndrome that includes, among several affected organs, multiple, bilateral renal cysts and RCC. Although the VHL disease gene maps to chromosome 3p25-p26, data indicate that the VHL and sporadic RCC disease genes are likely to be independent. The authors hypothesize that VHL disease manifestations are controlled by mutations in the VHL disease gene and that the onset of VHL-associated kidney cancer is due to a second mutation of the linked sporadic RCC gene.

D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.

D002292 Carcinoma, Renal Cell A heterogeneous group of sporadic or hereditary carcinoma derived from cells of the KIDNEYS. There are several subtypes including the clear cells, the papillary, the chromophobe, the collecting duct, the spindle cells (sarcomatoid), or mixed cell-type carcinoma.
