Chromosomal abnormalities in renal cell neoplasms associated with acquired renal cystic disease. A series studied by comparative genomic hybridization and fluorescence in situ hybridization

Sporadic renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) display different chromosomal abnormalities according to their morphology; gains of chromosomes 7 and 17 and loss of Y are commonly observed in papillary lesions, whereas loss of 3p sequences and multiple losses of specific chromosomes are found in non‐papillary and chromophobe cell carcinomas, respectively. Acquired renal cystic disease (ARCD) is associated with an increased incidence of renal cell tumours, especially papillary lesions. The aim of this study was to examine a series of ARCD‐related tumours for chromosomal abnormalities and to compare the findings with those abnormalities commonly observed in sporadic RCCs. Nine tumours from four patients with ARCD were examined using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) and interphase cytogenetics. Gain of chromosomes 7 and 17 was observed in all four papillary lesions and loss of Y in three. In addition, gain of chromosome 16 was observed in three papillary tumours. Three chromophobe RCCs originating from the same kidney showed different genomic profiles; two had no abnormalities, whereas one showed loss of chromosome 17p. Two non‐papillary RCCs failed to show chromosome 3p alterations. In conclusion, renal cell tumours developing in ARCD may show chromosomal abnormalities both similar to and different from those seen in sporadic tumours. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
