We analyzed 130 consecutive RO for karyotypic alterations. Clonal chromosome abnormalities were identified in 63 (48.5%) cases, which could be categorized into 3 classes of mutually exclusive cytogenetic categories. Class 1 RO had diploid karyotypes with 11q13 rearrangement in balanced translocations with ten or more different chromosome partners in all 20 (31.7%) cases. We identified recurrent translocation partners at 5q35, 6p21, 9p24, 11p13-14 and 11q23, and confirmed that CCND1 gene rearrangement at 11q13 utilizing fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Class 2 RO exhibited hypodiploid karyotypes with loss of chromosome 1 and concurrent losses of Y in males and X in females in 25 (39.7%) cases. The class 3 tumors comprising of 18 (30.2%) cases showed diverse types of abnormalities with the involvement of 2 or more chromosomes exclusive of abnormalities seen in Class 1 and 2 tumors. Furthermore, karyotypically uninformative cases were subjected to FISH analysis to identify class 1 and 2 abnormalities. In this group we found similar frequencies of CCND1 rearrangement, loss of 1 or Y as with karyotypically abnormal cases. We validated our results against 91 tumors from the Mittleman database. Correlation of clinical data with all the 3 classes of RO showed no clear evidence of overall patient survival. Our findings support the hypothesis that RO exhibit 3 principal cytogenetic categories, which may have different roles in initiation and/or progression. These cytogenetic markers provide a key tool in the diagnostic evaluation of RO. Citation Format: Christopher B. Anderson, Michael Lipsky, Subhadra V. Nandula, Freeman E.
