| 4

reach
"BAP1 mutations increase the risk of UVM metastasis and contribute to poor prognosis, while EIF1AX mutations are often associated with good prognosis."

reach
"XREF_BIBR Therefore, both somatic mutation of BAP1 in primary UM tumors and germline mutations increase the risk of metastasis and impart low survival rate."

reach
"Germline BAP1 mutations increased risk of metastasis independent of ciliary body involvement (P =.02)."

reach
"Moreover, in uveal melanoma, somatic BAP1 mutations cause metastasis with a probability of 74%, while the same has been observed in only 36% of the patients carrying a germline mutation [104]."
