Conversely, mutations in certain driver genes, including BAP1 (BRCA1 associated protein-1), PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog), PIK3CA (phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase, catalytic subunit alpha), SETD2 (SET domain containing 2) and TP53 (encoding tumor protein p53), were always subclonal, and thus probably involved in ccRCC progression. This evidence concerns the gene BAP1 and nonpapillary renal cell carcinoma.
