Exome sequencing identifies recurrent somatic mutations in EIF1AX and SF3B1 in uveal melanoma with disomy 3.

TLDR
Using exome sequencing, recurrent somatic mutations in EIF1AX and SF3B1 are identified occurring in uveal melanomas with disomy 3, which rarely metastasize and are associated with poor prognosis.
Abstract
Michael Zeschnigk and colleagues identify recurrent somatic mutations of EIF1AX and SF3B1 in uveal melanomas with disomy 3. The EIF1AX mutations specifically alter the N-terminal tail of the protein and were found exclusively in tumors lacking SF3B1 mutations.
