Trisomy 7, trisomy 10, and loss of the Y chromosome in short-term cultures of normal kidney tissue

P Elfving et al. Cytogenet Cell Genet. 1990.

Abstract

Numerical chromosome aberrations are common in several types of malignant tumors. Recently, trisomy 7 and loss of the Y chromosome were described in cultures from nonneoplastic tissue, making the significance of these aberrations as cancer-associated changes doubtful. We herein report the mosaic occurrence of trisomy 7 in four consecutive short-term cultures initiated from normal kidney tissue. Smaller clones with trisomy 10 were present in three cases, and the only culture established from a male also showed mosaic loss of the Y chromosome.
