Racial Disparities in MiT Family Translocation Renal Cell Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Racial disparities have been documented in the biology and outcome of certain renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) among Black patients. However, little is known about racial differences in MiT family translocation RCC (TRCC). To investigate this issue, we performed a case-control study using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Chinese OrigiMed2020 cohort. A total of 676 patients with RCC (14 Asian, 113 Black, and 525 White) were identified in TCGA, and TRCC was defined as RCC with TFE3/TFEB translocation or TFEB amplification, leading to 21 patients with TRCC (2 Asian, 8 Black, 10 White, and 1 unknown). Asian (2 of 14 [14.3%] vs 10 of 525 [1.9%]; P = .036) and Black (8 of 113 [7.1%] vs 1.9%; P = .007) patients with RCC showed significantly higher prevalence of TRCC compared with Whit
