dc.description.abstractUveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults, and its metastases are known to be fatal. It is critical to identify molecular markers to be used in potential prognostic evaluation for early diagnosis, treatment, and metastasis or to investigate all aspects of known genetic anomalies. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the eight genes (GNAQ, GNA11, BAP1, SF3B1, SRSF2, EIF1AX, PLCB4, and CYSLTR2) that are associated with the most common genetic anomalies in UM from a molecular perspective. The genome sequences and expression profiles of 108 UM patients were obtained via bioinformatics tools that provide data from TCGA. The overall mutational load and the mutation patterns for eight genes, in particular, were thoroughly determined. Moreover, PolyPhen2 and SNAP(2) tools were used to estimate the oncogenic/pathogenic properties of identified mutations for UM. In addition to the mutation profile, the effects of the presence of a mutation on gene expression and survival were determined. Finally, STRING network analysis was performed to better understand the functional relationships of mutated proteins in cellular processes. There were 27 missense mutations, 16 frameshift mutations, six nonsense mutations, and three splice region mutations among the 52 mutations found in eight genes, and 26 of them had pathogenic properties. BAP1 m-RNA expression was significantly lower in tumors with the mutant genotype (p = .001). The impact of gene expression, which has poor prognostic importance, on survival is statistically significant for high-expressed BAP1 (p = .0015) and low-expressed CYSLTR2 (p = .0021). To assess the current state of this potentially devastating disease, a molecular perspective has been evaluated. Defining this molecular perspective can be useful in developing targeted drug therapies and personalized medicine.
