Purpose: In uveal melanoma (UM) research, several cell lines are used in preclinical studies. Because Mel285 and Mel290 do not harbour typical GNAQ or GNA11 hotspot mutations, we aimed at better classifying them and understanding if we could find genetic causes to explain their protein and mRNA expr...
In uveal melanoma Gα-protein GNA11 mutations convey a shorter disease-specific survival and are more strongly associated with loss of BAP1 and chromosomal alterations than Gα-protein GNAQ mutations
