Overview
Genes involved in the pathogenesis of uveal melanoma include GNAQ, GNA11, and BAP1.
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- It is understood that uveal melanoma is the result of genetic mutations.
- Uveal melanoma arises from melanocytes, which are normally involved in melanin production.
Genetics
Genes involved in the pathogenesis of uveal melanoma include:
- Activating mutations in GNAQ or GNA11, genes encoding for G protein alpha subunits. [1][2][3]
- These mutations lead to activation of downstream signaling pathways including the MAPK pathway in uveal melanoma.
- Inactivating somatic mutations are present in the gene encoding BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1) on chromosome 3p21.1.
- The mutations in the gene BAP1 are strongly linked to metastatic spread and patient survival.[4]
- In approximately five percent of patients with uveal melanomas germline mutations have been identified in BAP1, and these have been associated with involvement of the ciliary body and larger tumors.[5]
- In approximately 18.6 percent of primary uveal melanomas recurring mutations occurring exclusively at codon 625 of the SF3B1 gene, encoding splicing factor 3B subunit 1 were identified.[6]
Associated Conditions
Conditions associated with uveal melanoma include:[7][8][9]
- Ocular nevi
- Impaired immune system
- Pregnancy
- Trauma
Gross Pathology
On gross pathology, [feature1], [feature2], and [feature3] are characteristic findings of [disease name].
Microscopic Pathology
On microscopic histopathological analysis, we have 5 subtypes according to cell type into: Spindle A, spindle B, epitheliolid, mixed, and necrotic.
| Cell type | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Spindle A |
|
| Spindle B |
|
| Epithelioid |
|
| Mixed |
|
| Necrotic |
