Two cases from the renal non-clear cell RCC cohort34 were annotated as classic chromophobes: one case with a TSC1 missense mutation; and the other case with one TSC2 frameshift mutation and one TSC2 nonsense mutation. Three cases were annotated as “papillary”: two cases with one TSC1 missense mutation each; and the third case with one TSC2 missense mutation. This combined query contains samples from 7 studies: 1) Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma (BGI, Nat Genet 2012)35; 2) Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (U Tokyo, Nat Genet 2013)36; 3) Kidney Chromophobe (TCGA, Cancer Cell 2014)37; 4) Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma (TCGA, Nature 2013)33; 5) Renal Non-Clear Cell Carcinoma (Genentech, Nat Genet 2014)34; 6) Targeted gene sequencing in 62 high-grade primary Unclassified RCC (MSK, Nature 2016)39; and 7) Multiregion Sequencing of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (IRC, Nat Genet 2014)38.
