References prefixed with “s” are provided as Supplementary Information. Abi, Abl‐interactor; Del, genomic deletion of HSPC300 accompanied by genetic loss of von Hippel‐Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor. Loss of function of VHL gene is responsible for familial or sporadic VHL tumor syndrome; CYFIP, cytoplasmic FMR1 interacting protein 2; Down, gene product downregulated as indicated cancer advances; HSPC300, hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell protein 300; IHC, immunohistochemistry; Inv, invasion; MA, microarray; MAP, deletion mapping of chromosomes; Met, metastasis; NckAP, Nck‐associated protein; ND, not determined; N‐WASP, WASP homologue; RT, RT‐PCR; TL, genomic translocation found at the locus of the indicated gene; Up, gene product upregulated as indicated cancer advances; WB, Western blotting. —, not applicable; WIP, WASP‐interacting protein. †WAVE2 upregulation is seen with actin‐related protein 2 coexpression.
