- Modes of inheritance
- Autosomal dominant inheritance (Orphanet)
Summary
Excerpted from the GeneReview:BAP1 tumor predisposition syndrome (BAP1-TPDS) is associated with an increased risk for a specific skin lesion, BAP1-inactivated melanocytic tumors (BIMT; formerly called atypical Spitz tumors), and the following cancers, in descending order of frequency: uveal (eye) melanoma (UM), malignant mesothelioma (MMe), cutaneous melanoma (CM), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, and meningioma may also be associated with BAP1-TPDS. Affected individuals can have more than one type of primary cancer. In general, the median age of onset of these tumors is younger than in the general population. UM tends to be a more aggressive class 2 tumor with higher risk for metastasis and reduced survival compared to UM occurring in the general population. Due to the limited number of families reported to date, the penetrance, natural history, and frequencies of BAP1-associated tumors are yet to be determined. Other suspected but unconfirmed tumors in BAP1-TPDS include (in alphabetic order): breast cancer, neuroendocrine carcinoma, non-small-cell lung adenocarcinoma, thyroid cancer, and urinary bladder cancer.
