Deletion of chromosome 3p is a characteristic finding in clear cell RCC.
Combination of trisomy 7 and 17 are commonly found in papillary RCC.
Combination monosomies (chromosomes 1, 2, 6, 10, 13, 17 and/or 21) are found in chromphobe RCC.
Loss of chromosomes 1, 14, and 15 are found in these tumors.
Renal oncotyoma is a benign neoplasm. Chromosome abnormalities are seen in approximately 50% of oncocytomas. Loss of chromosomes 1 and 14, and loss of the Y chromosome in males, are seen in one subset of tumors. In a second subset, translocations at 11q13 are seen. 11q13 rearranges with many different chromosomes in this setting.
