BAP1 and cancer: The close relatives of the 9 probands carrying these predicted deleterious variants were an estimated 8 times more likely to report a cancer previously associated with BAP1 germline variants than among probands without a BAP1 variant allele (Table 2); however, most of this increase is due to the 3 families with loss-of-function mutations who all reported a family history of BAP1-associated cancers (mesothelioma, renal cancer).
