Clinical Validation Of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (Snps) As Predictive Biomarkers In Localized And Metastatic Renal Cell Cancer (Rcc).

588Background: SNPs predictive of survival outcomes in patients (pts) with localized and metastatic RCC have been identified previously by us [Garrigos C et al, 2017]. Fifteen SNPs in 9 genes involved in angiogenesis and metabolism of antiangiogenics were recognized as predictive/prognostic in a cohort of 102 pts. The aim of the present study is to validate these associations in an independent cohort of RCC pts Methods: Genotyping was performed in DNA isolated from paraffin-embedded tumor samples from 87 pts with localized and metastatic RCC. DNA was extracted by a commercial kit (QiAGEN) and amplified with a specific primers pool for each SNP as determined by the manufacturer (Lifetech). The 15 SNPs were individually genotyped by Real time quantitative PCR with specific primers and Taqman probes (Lifetech). The presence of the selected SNPs was correlated with clinical features such as disease free survival (DFS), progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). SPSS v24 was used for statistica...
