Analysis of BAP1 Germline Gene Mutation in Young Uveal Melanoma Patients.

CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that a small subset of patients with early onset UM has germline mutation in BAP1. While young patients with UM should be screened for germline BAP1 mutations, our results suggest that there is a need to identify other candidate genes which are responsible for UM in young patients.
