Phylogenetic studies of paired-primary-metastatic samples allowed to propose a tumor progression process, involving the nearly universal loss of CHRCC-7 set-chromosomes as the only driver event in the pathogenesis of CHRCC, followed by TP53 mutations that were detected in 82% of metastatic samples and then by ICD and PTEN mutations that were detected in 82% of metastatic samples and then by ICD and PTEN mutation, occurring in a mutually exclusive manner [138]. This evidence concerns the gene TP53 and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma.
