Project name: Homo sapiens

Description: Human clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a common cancer of the kidney. We applied an integrated approach to identify important factors that influence carcinogenesis in ccRCC.Overall design: 33 frozen ccRCC samples were subject to copy number analysis. The data was analyzed to identify factors affecting tumorigenesis. The samples were also stained for HIF-1alpha and HIF-2alpha expression. The tumors were subtyped based on HIF expression and investigated for differences in genetic aberrations.
