For example, BAP1 loss or germline mutations have been linked to prolonged survival in malignant pleural mesothelioma [11, 12, 22, 23], and BAP1 overexpression appears to promote basal type breast cancers [24] and myeloid neoplasms harboring certain ATRX mutations [25]. Here, BAP1 is linked to malignant pleural mesothelioma.
