Popis: Analysing multiple tumours from the same patient permits the study of the germline contribution to cancer. Here, the authors sequence multiple renal tumours from VHL patients and find that intra-patient tumours are clonally distinct but share some genetic features, suggesting that patient-specific factors influence tumour formation.
