G-banded karyotype of a primary renal-cell carcinoma.
Cytogenetic findings of a primary renal-cell carcinoma are reported. The chromosome number was near triploid and there was tetrasomy for the long arm of chromosomes #1 and #3. The following structural chromosomal abnormalities were identified by the G-banding technique: i(1q), t(3;17), 6q-, 7p+, and a ring chromosome of unknown origin. Chromosomes #1, #3, #6, #7, and #17 involved in this case are often implicated in malignancy.
