Abstract:
To further evaluate the role of cytogenetic analysis we studied 19 cases of renal neoplasms. Specific chromosomal aberrations have been demonstrated associated with different histologic types. Particularly, clear cell renal cancers were associated with deletions of the short arm of chromosome 3 and papillary renal cell cancers demonstrated multiple trisomies, and chromophobe cancers and oncocytomas were characterized by loss of whole chromosomes. The utility of cytogenetics as a tool to define the pathological spectrum of renal cell neoplasms is stressed.

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.

The Retinoblastoma Gene
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
