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

β¦ Synopsis
Cytogenetic studies were performed on peripheral lymphocytes, normal kidney cells, and tumor cells of a patient with renal cell carcinoma. Chromosome analysis of normal somatic cells revealed a constitutional t(3;12)(q13.2;q24.1) and a genomic instability involving the derivative chromosome 12. On the other hand, tumor cells were characterized by loss of der(3), supporting the hypothesis that loss of a specific 3p segment is associated with the development of renal cancer.

## Abstract Renalβcell carcinoma (RCC) constitutes a heterogeneous group of tumors with specific chromosome aberrations. Recently, a new small group of RCC, occurring in children and young adults, has been described as characterized by t(6;11)(p21;q12). It has been shown that this translocation res
