Multiregion sequencing analyses revealed distinct evolutionary subtypes that are associated with distinct metastatic patterns. Chromosome 3p loss and VHL deficiency are nearly universal early events. Primary tumors with limited ITH and a low fraction of their genome affected by SCNAs have an overall low metastatic potential and follow a linear pattern of evolution. Primary tumors with high ITH and high genomic instability follow an attenuated progression, characterized by highly branched trees and solitary metastases. These tumors usually harbor early PBRM1 mutation followed by subclonal SCNAs, mutational activation of the PI3K–AKT–mTOR pathway, or SETD2 mutation. Both chromosome 9p loss and 14q loss are late events in tumor evolution. In primary tumors characterized by low ITH and high genomic instability, metastatic competence is acquired at the early stage of tumor evolution, which then drives rapid tumor dissemination, leading to a poor outcome and early death from disease. In this aggressive subtype, chromosome 9p and 14q loss occurs early during tumor development.
