Summary
Renal cell carcinoma (MONDO:0005086) is a cancer (an umbrella term covering 11 Mondo subtypes) caused by variants in BAP1, SDHB, and VHL, with 47 cohort genes (201 GWAS associations across 13 studies; 23 CIViC-evidence somatic drivers; 3,322 ClinVar predisposition records) and 973 clinical trials. The dominant Reactome pathway is Regulation of MITF-M-dependent genes involved in cell cycle and proliferation (4 cohort genes). Molecularly, TSC1 Loss-of-function confers sensitivity to MTOR Inhibitor in Renal Cell Carcinoma (CIViC Level B); 25 further subtype–drug associations are mapped below. Top therapeutic interventions include sunitinib, cabozantinib, and tivozanib.

Pathway analysis
Distinct Reactome pathways touched by cohort: 422. Enrichment computed across 47 evidence-associated genes (36 with Reactome annotation).
Pathways by enrichment
Over-representation of cohort genes vs the genome-wide background (hypergeometric test, Benjamini-Hochberg FDR; fold = observed/expected over 36 annotated cohort genes). Counts and members are kept as ground-truth; sorted by enrichment.

Pharmacogenomics
Cohort genes with a PharmGKB record: 46; with CPIC/DPWG dosing guidelines: 0.
No cohort gene has a CPIC/DPWG genotype-guided dosing guideline (PharmGKB).
Drug repurposing candidates
24 approved/phased drugs hit cohort targets but don’t yet appear in disease-level clinical trials. Target-inhibition rationale is strongest for cancer driver genes; a bioactivity hit is a screening signal, not a treatment claim.
