Molecular analysis of the short arm of chromosome 3 in five renal oncocytomas.
Renal oncocytomas were tested for loss of alleles at loci on the short arm of chromosome 3, a genetic change characteristic of human renal cell carcinoma. Five renal oncocytomas did not show loss of alleles at loci on 3p supporting the view that renal oncocytoma is a distinct form of renal neoplasia.
