Mutation in the BAP1 gene leads to greater risk of developing mesothelioma and uveal melanoma (melanoma of the eye)

I didn't even realize that you could get melanoma in your eye(s)...

BAP1 Mutation Linked to Higher Risk of Melanoma of the Eye 

“The discovery that the BAP1 gene is involved in a new cancer syndrome characterized especially by uveal melanoma and mesothelioma provides yet another example of the critical importance of the detailed genetic analysis of human tumors,” said Donald Blair, PhD, in the NCI press release...
