Clinical and Histopathologic Characteristics of BAP1 Mutations

"All consenting patients (Consent 1) will participate in an anonymized assessment of the prevalence of germline BAP1 mutations. Available tumor specimens from patients with MPM and metastatic uveal melanoma will be tested for BAP1 mutation. Patients whose tumors harbor BAP1 mutations and/or meet the criteria for germline mutation specified in 2.2.2 will be approached for identified germline BAP1 testing after appropriate pre-test counseling (Consent 2).~Patients who, through identified testing, are found to have germline BAP1 mutations will be asked to invite their relatives to participate in germline testing (Consent 3). First-degree relatives and any relatives with a malignancy will be prioritized. Expanding testing to family members of patients with BAP1 germline mutations is essential to delineate the penetrance and describe the various manifestations of this new cancer predisposition syndrome."
