Low chromosome number in chromophobe renal cell carcinomas

Genes Chromosomes Cancer. 1992 Apr;4(3):267-8. doi: 10.1002/gcc.2870040313.

Abstract

Cytogenetic analysis revealed low chromosome number, telomeric association, and pulverisation of chromosomes in three chromophobe renal cell carcinomas. One fully karyotyped and a previously published case showed the common loss of chromosomes 1, 2, 6, 10, 13, 17, and 21.
