Uveal melanoma (UM) is an uncommon but highly aggressive ocular malignancy. Poor overall survival is associated with deleterious BAP1 alterations, which frequently occur with monosomy 3 (LOH3) and a characteristic gene expression profile. Tumor DNA from a cohort of 100 UM patients from Moorfields Biobank (UK) that had undergone enucleation were sequenced for known UM driver genes (BAP1, SF3B1, EIF1AX, GNAQ, and GNA11). Immunohistochemical staining of BAP1 and interphase FISH for chromosomes 3 and 8 was performed, and cellular localization of BAP1 was correlated with BAP1 mutations. Wildtype (WT) BAP1 staining was characterized by nBAP1 expression with 10% cBAP1.
