-
A cytogenetic alteration, loss of chromosome 1p, common to renal oncocytoma and chRCC has been identified, providing the opportunities for identifying novel tumor suppressor genes and we have identified a series of immunohistochemical markers that are clinically useful in discriminating chRCC and oncocytoma.

• Discriminate between two challenging kidney disease diagnoses: oncocytoma, a benign condition and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, a malignant one.
-
The overlapping characteristics are best explained by a common cellular origin, and the biologic differences between chRCC and oncocytoma are therefore of considerable interest in terms of carcinogenesis, diagnosis and clinical management.

-
While chRCC is a malignant tumor, oncocytoma is usually regarded as a benign entity.

-
Gene expression profiles, high-throughput SNP genotyping, and pathway analysis effectively distinguish chRCC from oncocytoma.
