To characterize the clinical presentation, genomic alterations, pathologic phenotype and clinical management of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) familial renal cell carcinoma (RCC), caused by a member of the TFE3, TFEB and MITF family of transcription factor genes. The clinical presentation, family history, tumor histopathology, and surgical management were evaluated and reported herein. DNA sequencing was performed on blood DNA, tumor DNA and DNA extracted from adjacent normal kidney tissue. Copy number and gene expression analyses on tumor and normal tissues were performed by Real-Time PCR. TCGA gene expression data were used for comparative analysis. Protein expression and subcellular localization were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Germline genomic analysis identified the MITF p.E318K variant in a patient with bilateral, multifocal type 1 papillary RCC and a family history of RCC. All tumors displayed the MITF variant and were characterized by amplification of chromosomes 7 and 17, hallmarks of type 1 papillary RCC. We demonstrated that MITF p.E318K variant results in altered transcriptional activity and that downstream targets of MiT family members, such as GPNMB, are dysregulated in the tumors. Association of the pathogenic MITF variant with bilateral and multifocal type 1 papillary RCC in this family supports its role as a risk allele for the development of RCC and emphasizes the importance of screening for MITF variants irrelevant of the RCC histologic subtype. This study identifies potential biomarkers for the disease, such as GPNMB expression, that may facilitate the development of targeted therapies for patients affected with MITF-associated RCC. This report describes a case study of a patient with bilateral, multifocal type 1 papillary RCC and a family history of RCC that has the germline MITF p.E318K variant, known to predispose to kidney cancer. All tumors demonstrated a papillary type 1 histology and analyses of available tumors identified increased nuclear staining for the MITF transcription factor, somatic amplification of chromosomes 7 and 17, and altered expression of genes associated with tumorigenesis, including potential biomarkers, such as GPNMB.
