| Abstract: | AIM: The aim of this study is to evaluate the S100A1 and KIT as gene markers for the differentiation of common subtypes of renal tumours. METHODS: Fifty-five tissue samples (15 clear cell RCCs, 15 papillary RCCs, 7 chromophobe RCCs, 8 oncocytomas and 10 normal renal tissues) were studied The gene expressions of S100A1 and KIT were analysed by one-step RT-PCR by using the specific primers. RESULTS: S100A1 was expressed in 2/15 clear cell RCCs, 11/15 papillary RCCs, 7/8 oncocytomas and in 0/7 chromophobe RCCs. KIT gene was expressed in 6/7 chromophobe RCCs and 7/8 oncocytomas while 0/15 clear cell RCCs and 1/15 papillary RCCs expressed kit gene. Normal tissue expressed neither S100A1 nor KIT gene. CONCLUSION: S100A1 and KIT can be used as gene markers for the differentiation of common subtypes of renal tumours. |
