Abstract
Mutations drive renal cell carcinoma biology and tumor growth. The BRCA1-associated protein-1 (BAP1) gene is frequently mutated in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and has emerged as a prognostic and putative predictive biomarker. In this review, we discuss the role of BAP1 as a signature event of a subtype of ccRCC marked by aggressiveness, inflammation, and possibly a heightened response to immunotherapy.
