OBJECTIVETo investigate whether GATA5 CpG island (CGI) methylation occurs in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and is associated with clinical, histopathological characteristics or progression-free survival of patients.PATIENTS AND METHODSMethylation was quantified in 117 RCC samples and 89 paired adjacent normal tissues using quantitative combined bisulphite restriction analysis (COBRA).COBRA was evaluated in advance by pyrosequencing analyses of control RCC cell lines (coefficient of correlation, R = 0.95).Statistical analyses were carried out using the paired t-test for matched tumour tissue (TU) and adjacent normal tissue (adN) samples, logistic regression for comparisons of independent sample groups and Cox regression for analysis of progression-free survival.RESULTSIn the present study, we found a significant higher mean relative methylation in TU (20.4%) than in adN (7.9%, P < 0.001) in paired samples of all RCCs.Increased GATA5 methylation in tumours was associated with metastasis (P = 0.005) and decreased progression-free survival (P = 0.005, HR = 4.59) in the clear-cell RCC (ccRCC) group.CGI methylation in advanced ccRCCs (pT >= 3 and/or N1, M1 or G2-3/G3) exceeds those detected in localized tumours (pT
