BAP1 activates asbestos. 4 / 4
| 4

reach
"In mouse models, inactivation of only one BAP1 allele increases asbestos tumorigenicity."

reach
"Currently, the available human data leans toward the notion that germline mutations (BAP1 and others) may induce mesothelioma independent of asbestos exposure (Attanoos et al., 2018)."

reach
"Mutations in BAP1, detected in 30-60% of MPM cases, accelerate asbestos-induced MPM in mice [1]."

reach
"The fact that we determined that highly penetrant, heterozygous pathogenic BAP1 null variants by themselves, as studied by Kadariya et al. , can initiate and drive MM tumorigenesis in mice absent asbestos exposure supports their conclusions, in agreement with Chanock ."
