Synonyms: BAP1 tumor predisposition syndrome; BAP1-related tumor predisposition syndrome; BRCA1 associated protein 1 tumor predisposition syndrome; Tumor susceptibility associated with germline BAP1 mutation
SNOMED CT: BAP1-related tumor predisposition syndrome (765057007); Tumor susceptibility associated with germline BAP1 mutation (765057007); BAP1 tumor predisposition syndrome (765057007); BRCA1 associated protein 1 tumor predisposition syndrome (765057007)

Definition

A syndrome caused by germline mutations in the BAP1 gene. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Individuals carrying heterozygous BAP1 mutations have an increased risk of developing various tumor types, most commonly BAP1-inactivated nevi /melanocytomas of the skin, uveal and cutaneous melanomas, peritoneal and pleural mesotheliomas, clear cell renal cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma. (WHO 2018) [from NCI]
