Cadherin-16 (CDH16) plays a role in the embryonal development in kidney and thyroid. Downregulation of CDH16 RNA was found in papillary carcinomas of the thyroid. To determine the expression of CDH16 in tumors and to assess the diagnostic utility a tissue microarray containing 15,584 samples from 152 different tumor types as well as 608 samples of 76 different normal tissue types was analyzed.

Objective: Cadherin-16 (CDH16) is a member of the cadherin superfamily which is also termed kidney specific cadherin (ksp-cadherin) because of its preferred expression in the normal kidney where it plays a pivotal role in tubulus formation during embryonal development. However, little is known about the prognostic role of CDH16 in renal cell carcinomas.

Methods And Material: CDH16 protein was analyzed by immunohistochemistry in more than 1,300 renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) in a tissue microarray format.
