The FHIT gene locus at 3p14.2 covers about 500 kb, including the fragile site FRA3B and the constitutional t(3;8) breakpoint associated with the development of multiple renal cell carcinomas (RCC). A terminal deletion of the short arm of chromosome 3 with the most distal breakpoint in the FRA3B regi
The recently identified FHIT gene encompasses the FRA3B region and the breakpoint of a constitutive t(3;8) occurring in a family with hereditary renal cell cancer. Occurrence of aberrant transcripts in different types of tumours has led to the suggestion that FHIT might play a critical role in the d
In a family with a constitutional translocation t(3;6), the oldest member carrying the translocation had developed multiple nonpapillary renal cell carcinomas (RCCs). The translocation breakpoint was positioned between 3p I 3 and 3p 14. I. This is close t o the region in which a t(3;8) breakpoint ha
