Archival material from primary and metastatic renal clear cell carcinomas of 25 patients was studied by comparative genomic hybridization. Copy number changes of entire chromosomes or chromosomal subregions were detected in 22 primary and 21 metastatic tumors. Copy number changes affected the following chromosomes in at least 20% of the 25 primary tumors (minimal common region given in parentheses): gains were noted for chromosomes 1 (1q21-->q23), 5 (5q31-->q34), 7 (7p), 8 (8q), 16 (16p), 17 (17q12-->qter), 19, and 22 (22q12-->qter); losses were revealed for chromosomes 3 (3p21-->pter), 8 (8p23-->pter), 14(14q21-->qter), and Y. The same chromosomal regions that were involved in primary renal clear cell carcinomas were also found in the respective metastatic tumors but with strikingly different frequencies for a few regions. Metastatic tumors showed a significantly higher frequency of complete or partial gains of the long arm of chromosome 1, in particular at 1q21-->q23 than primary tumors (16 cases versus 6 cases; P < 0.005). These data suggest a correlation of metastatic events in renal clear cell carcinomas with an increase in the copy number of genes located at 1q, in particular at 1q21-->q23. In contrast, the entire or partial loss of the short arm of chromosome 3 was significantly less frequent in metastatic tumors (8 cases versus 15 cases; P < 0.025). The validity of 1q and 3p copy number changes detected by comparative genomic hybridization was confirmed by interphase cytogenetics with region-specific yeast artificial chromosomes to paraffin-embedded tumor tissue sections.
