The small panel containing only 79 RCC-associated genes demonstrated that mutations of VHL, PBRM1, BAP1, and SETD2 in ccRCC patients were 74%, 50%, 24%, and 18% respectively, while for the nccRCC cohort, the most frequent mutations were FH (29%), ARID1A (18%), ATM (12%), MSH6 (12%), BRAF (12%), and KRAS (12%). This evidence concerns the gene BRAF and renal cell carcinoma.
