Abstract
Review on Renal cell carcinoma with t(X;17)(p11;q25) ASPSCR1/TFE3, with data on clinics, and the genes involved.
Classification

Clinics and Pathology
Epidemiology
Median age is 13 years (1.5 yr to 75 years). Male: Female ratio is 16:25. A subset of cases are associated with prior exposure to cytotoxic chemotherapy.

Pathology
These tumors typically demonstrate papillary to alveolar architecture, voluminous clear cytoplasm, and abundant psammoma bodies.

Treatment
Surgery.
Prognosis
Regional lymph nodes are involved in 75% of cases; however, young patients with regional node metastasis have a relatively indolent clinical course. Patients who present with distant metastases do poorly.
Cytogenetics
t(X;17)(p11;q25) G- banding: - Courtesy Charles D. Bangs
Cytogenetics morphological
Balanced t(X;17)(p11.2;q25). This is in contrast with what is found in the alveolar soft part sarcoma where the tranlocation t(X;17)(p11.2;q25) involves the same breakpoints and the same genes, but is found unbalanced in most cases.
Genes Involved and Proteins
Gene name
TFE3 (transcription factor E3)
Location
Xp11.23
Dna rna description
8 exons.
Protein description
Transcription factor; member of the basic helix-loop-helix family (b-HLH) of transcription factors primarily found to bind to the immunoglobulin enchancer muE3 motif.
Gene name
ASPSCR1 (Alveolar soft part sarcoma critical region 1)
Location
17q25.3
Protein description
476 amino acids; contains an UBX domain.
Result of the chromosomal anomaly
Description
5 ASPSCR1-3 TFE3;. ASPSCR1 is fused in frame to TFE3 exon 3 or 4 the reciprocal 5 TFE3 - 3 ASPSCR1 may or may not be transcribed
Description
NH2 term from ASPSCR1, fused to the C term of TFE3, including the activation domain, the helix-loop-helix, and the leucine zipper from TFE3.
