SMARCB1 ‐deficient malignant melanocytic uveal tumours: a new neural crest‐derived tumour entity with SMARCB1 ‐related germline predisposition

Abstract excerpt

Rhabdoid tumours (RT) are an aggressive malignancy affecting <2-year-old infants, characterised by biallelic loss-of-function alterations in SWI/SNF-related BAF chromatin remodelling complex subunit B1 (SMARCB1) in nearly all cases.
