Furthermore, the absence of nBAP1 protein expression is indicative of the presence of a BAP1 mutation in human cancers such as malignant mesothelioma and uveal melanoma, as well as Spitz melanoma (Wiesner et al., 2012, Yoshikawa et al., 2012, Song et al., 2017). The gene discussed is BAP1; the disease is malignant mesothelioma.
