Van der Berg et al (10) proposed that a subset of renal oncocytomas with loss of chromosome 1 may be related to ChRCCs because the latter also show loss of chromosome 1 (as well as multiple additional monosomies of 2, 6, 10, 13, 17, 21, and X, or loss of Y in male patients).
19) Trisomies or tetrasomies of chromosomes 9, 3, 19, 15, 11, 7, 5, 18, and 21 have been reported in decreasing frequency as well as loss of chromosomes 13, X (in females), 14, 8, and 4 resulting in monosomies or nullosomies.
His analyses of tissue samples from spontaneously aborted fetuses revealed a surprising number of trisomies (cells containing double contributions from one parent in addition to a normal complement of chromosomes from the other parent) and X-chromosome monosomies (cells containing one, rather than two, sex chromosomes).
