Notes
BAP1 (BRCA1-associated protein 1) is a nuclear deubiquitinase / tumor suppressor on 3p21. Somatic loss is a major prognostic and lineage- defining lesion in two rare tumors: **Uveal melanoma (UM):** - BAP1 LOF (somatic, often biallelic via 3p loss + somatic mutation) is the dominant driver of metastatic risk. - Class 2 GEP / BAP1-loss UM: ~70-80% metastasize within 5 years (vs <10% for BAP1-retained class 1). Liver-tropic metastatic pattern. - Distinct from cutaneous melanoma: GNAQ/GNA11 are the activating drivers; BAP1 is the metastatic-risk modifier. - Tebentafusp (gp100 × CD3 ImmTAC, FDA-approved 2022 for HLA-A*02:01+ metastatic UM) is the first systemic OS-prolonging therapy; BAP1 status does not currently gate eligibility but is standard prognostic stratification. **Malignant pleural / peritoneal mesothelioma:** - BAP1 LOF in ~50-60% of mesotheliomas, frequently as part of germline BAP1 tumor predisposition syndrome (TPDS) — increased lifetime risk of mesothelioma, uveal melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, cutaneous melanocytic BAP1-inactivated tumors. - BAP1 IHC loss is part of the WHO 2021 mesothelioma diagnostic criteria (with MTAP IHC + CDKN2A FISH). - Pre-clinical: BAP1-defi...
