About TFE3-rearranged renal cell carcinomas, immunolabeling was observed in roughly half of the cases (54% and 50% using the threshold of 5% and 10% or 20% positive cells respectively) whereas all the eleven TFEB-rearranged renal cell carcinomas evaluated stained positive for cathepsin K. Here, TFE3 is linked to hereditary clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
