The spectrum of tumors harboring BAP1 gene alterations.

Abstract excerpt

Germline mutations in the BRCA1-associated protein (BAP1) gene (MIM # 603089) are associated with a substantially increased risk for developing melanoma, mesothelioma, and renal cell carcinoma. Somatic inactivation of the BAP1 gene was noted in these and other tumors types, including esophageal cancer and cholangiocarcinoma. The favorable response of BRCA1/2-associated tumors to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase...
