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.

Ras–ERK1/2 signaling promotes the development of uveal melanoma by downregulating H3K14ac

TL;DR: Ras–ERK1/2 promoted uveal melanoma cells growth and migration by downregulating H3K14ac via MDM2‐mediated TIP60 degradation and CLR3 silence recovered H3k14ac expression and reversed the effect of Ras– ERK1 /2 on MP65 cell proliferation, migration and the mRNAs of ERK 1/2 downstream genes.

Six-gene-based prognostic model predicts overall survival in patients with uveal melanoma.

TL;DR: The six genes (SH2D3A, TMEM201, LZTS1, CREG1, NIPA1 and HIST1H4E) model might play a vital role in prognosis of UM, which should be helpful for further insight into the treatment of uveal melanoma.
