In multivariate analysis gains of 1q21.3 and of 20q11.21–q13.2 as well as loss of 9p21.3–p24.1 were independent predictors for metastasis. Multivariate Cox-regression analysis revealed gains of 7q36.3 and of 20q11.21–q13.32 and a loss of 9p21.3–p24.1 as independent prognostic factors for outcome of patients. The aim of this study was to prove the prognostic value of these aberrations using FISH probes on these critical regions in order to develop a routine diagnostic tool. METHODS FISH experiments were performed on isolated cell nuclei from tumor tissues. The same cohort of previous array-CGH analysis was used for these experiments (32 metastasized and 24 non-metastasized). For each critical chromosomal region (1q21.3, 7q36.3, 9p21.3–p24.1 und 20q11.21–q13.32) we hybridized a mixture of three different commercially available FISH probes: region specific probe in red dye, centromeric probe of corresponding chromosome or probe close to centromere in green dye and centromeric probe of chromosome 2 in blue colour as control. 100 nuclei were scored in each case. RESULTS Loss of 9p21.3–p24.1 (Fisher's exact test; p=0.017) and gains of 1q21.3 (p=0.030), 7q36.3(p=0.019) and 20q11.21–q13.32 (p=0.008) displayed significant correlations with metastasis occurrence. Our analysis revealed significant correlation of gains 7q36.3 (p=0.001) and 20q11.21–q13.32 (p=0.05) as well as loss of 9p21.3-p24.1 (p=0.00002) with cancer specific death. Patients with tumours harbouring these aberrations in more than 30% of cells have a poor outcom. CONCLUSIONS FISH results confirmed our previous findings of array-CGH and showed that these regions play an important role in cancer progression. Based on these genetic targets it seems possible to design a combined FISH assay which can be used in routine diagnostics for outcome prediction of patients with ccRCC. © 2011 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 185Issue 4SApril 2011Page: e214 Peer Review Report Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2011 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.MetricsAuthor Information Jimsgene Sanjmyatav Jena, Germany More articles by this author Martin Mühr Jena, Germany More articles by this author Doriana Sava Jena, Germany More articles by this author Sophie Matthes Jena, Germany More articles by this author Maria Sternal Jena, Germany More articles by this author Heiko Wunderlich Jena, Germany More articles by this author Thomas Steiner Jena, Germany More articles by this author Marc-Oliver Grimm Jena, Germany More articles by this author Kerstin Junker Jena, Germany More articles by this author Expand All Advertisement Advertisement PDF downloadLoading ...
