Sequencing of the Von Hippel-Lindau Gene in Canine Renal Carcinoma

JOURNAL OF VETERINARY INTERNAL MEDICINE, 23(3), 592–597.

By: B. Pressler*, L. Williams n, J. Ramos-Vara* & K. Anderson *

author keywords: Cancer genes; Molecular biology; Oncology; PCR assays; Renal neoplasia; Urinary tract
MeSH headings : Animals; Base Composition; Carcinoma / genetics; Carcinoma / veterinary; Dog Diseases / genetics; Dogs; Genetic Predisposition to Disease; Kidney Neoplasms / genetics; Kidney Neoplasms / veterinary; Mutation; Sarcoma / genetics; Sarcoma / veterinary; Von Hippel-Lindau Tumor Suppressor Protein / genetics; Von Hippel-Lindau Tumor Suppressor Protein / metabolism
TL;DR: Although similarities between canine and human RCC merit further investigation of the dog as a model for some subtypes of renal tumors, the lower prevalence of VHL mutations suggests that oncogenesis in these 2 species differs. (via Semantic Scholar)
