Selected publications
- Whole Exome Sequencing Identifies Candidate Genes Associated with Hereditary Predisposition to Uveal Melanoma
Conclusions: The study provided moderate evidence of gene and disease association of germline mutations in PALB2 and MLH1 with hereditary predisposition to UM. It also identified several other candidate susceptibility genes. The results suggest locus heterogeneity in predisposition to UM. Genetic testing for hereditary predisposition to cancer is warranted in UM patients with strong personal or family history of cancers, or both. - Comprehensive Study of the Clinical Phenotype of Germline BAP1 Variant-Carrying Families Worldwide
Conclusions: This analysis substantially increases the number of pathogenic BAP1 germline variants and refines the phenotype. It highlights the need for a curated registry of germline variant carriers for proper assessment of the clinical phenotype of the BAP1-TPDS and pathogenicity of new variants, thus guiding management of patients and informing areas requiring further research.
