We studied whether the natural history and the pathology of mesotheliomas in BAP1+/- carriers differed from sporadic, not genetically related, mesotheliomas. METHODS: During 1999 to 2024, we studied 47 families carrying BAP1+/- transmitted in a Mendelian fashion. We characterized these mutations,...
