"On the other hand, the occasionally described heterozygous deletions of these genes cannot be completely excluded in our series, because NGS procedure and mode of data analysis were not sensitive to moderate CNV (copy number variation), the detection of which was not the aim of this panel.Germline mutations in BAP1 are known to underlie sometimes melanomas, renal cell carcinomas, malignant mesotheliomas, and some other cancers [31]."

"This pathway is exploited by immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of melanoma.12 Coordination of the immune response with therapies targeting oncogenes is a possible treatment strategy.12 89CDKN2A, CDK4, MCR1, BAP1, and TERT promoter germline mutations increase melanoma risk within families.15 96 97 No specific germline mutation is associated with acral melanoma yet; in fact, MCR1 variants were less common in acral lentiginous melanoma patients in a Swedish study."
