Beschreibung:
Metastasis is a defining feature of malignant tumors and is the most common cause of cancer-related death, yet the genetics of metastasis are poorly understood. We used exome capture coupled with massively parallel sequencing to search for metastasis-related mutations in highly metastatic uveal melanomas of the eye. Inactivating somatic mutations were identified in the gene encoding BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1) on chromosome 3p21.1 in 26 of 31 (84%) metastasizing tumors, including 15 mutations causing premature protein termination and 5 affecting its ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase domain. One tumor harbored a frameshift mutation that was germline in origin, thus representing a susceptibility allele. These findings implicate loss of BAP1 in uveal melanoma metastasis and suggest that the BAP1 pathway may be a valuable therapeutic target.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3087380/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3087380/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Harbour, J William -- Onken, Michael D -- Roberson, Elisha D O -- Duan, Shenghui -- Cao, Li -- Worley, Lori A -- Council, M Laurin -- Matatall, Katie A -- Helms, Cynthia -- Bowcock, Anne M -- AR007279-31A1/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- P30 EY02687C/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA125970/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA125970-06/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2010 Dec 3;330(6009):1410-3. doi: 10.1126/science.1194472.
