Table 3 Chromosome aberrations and driver mutated genes in uveal melanoma and their prognostic implications

From: Diagnostic methods and therapeutic options of uveal melanoma with emphasis on MR imaging—Part I: MR imaging with pathologic correlation and technical considerations

Genetic features

Clinical implications

Non-random chromosome aberrations

 

 Monosomy 3, gain of chromosome 8q

High metastatic risk

 Gain of chromosome 6p

Low metastatic risk

Driver genes (mutations)

 

 BAP1

High metastatic risk, poor survival

 EIF1AX

Increased patient survival

 SF3B1

Late-onset metastatic disease

 GNA11, GNAQ

No prognostic value, not linked to patient outcomes
