The common fragile site in human chromosome band 3p14 is a constant cytogenetic marker present on every normal chromosome #3. Therefore, we selected a renal cell carcinoma with a deletion breakpoint in 3p14 for analysis of the 3p14 fragile site. Aphidicolin was used to induce the expression of the 3p14 fragile site. The fragile sites expressed in the renal carcinoma cells generally mirrored those expressed in lymphocytes. The normal chromosome #3 in the renal carcinoma cells expressed the common 3p14 fragile site. The partially deleted #3 did not. The deletion breakpoint, therefore, cannot be beyond the 3p14 fragile site. The common fragile site in 3p14 must be at or very near the deletion breakpoint in 3p14 in renal cell carcinoma. These results are consistent with this fragile site causing this cancer chromosome deletion.
