BAP1 gene cancer-risk study and family cancer patterns
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Eyes & vision, Kidney & urinary, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how the BAP1 gene affects cancer risk and what cancers people develop, including within families. You may be able to join if you have a known BAP1-related mutation, a strong family cancer history, or a concerning cancer pattern linked to BAP1.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a known BAP1 pathogenic (harmful) or likely harmful gene variant, or a documented BAP1-related case in your family
- OR you have had at least one cancer that can occur with BAP1 and at least two close relatives with BAP1-related cancers
- OR you have had two or more BAP1-related cancers yourself
- OR you are a close relative of someone with a documented BAP1 mutation (even if you never had cancer)
- You can participate in an English consent process (the study materials are only available in English)

This study looks at how well advanced scans, liquid biopsy tests, and small follow-up procedures can find early mesothelioma in people with a high-risk BAP1 gene condition. It may help catch cancer earlier when treatment could work better.
This study follows people with a harmful (deleterious) BAP1 gene change to learn how it affects health over time. It may help researchers better understand mesothelioma risk and the long-term outcomes for families with this genetic mutation.
This study looks for new inherited genes linked to uveal melanoma (an eye cancer). If you have this cancer and don't already have a known genetic cause, you may be able to help find new genes that affect cancer risk.
This study looks at inherited (family) risk for childhood cancers, including families with early cancers or known cancer risk conditions. It may help researchers understand why some children get cancer and improve future risk detection and care.
This study looks at DNA (genetic information) from people and families who may have an inherited risk for cancer. It aims to find new genetic markers that can help explain cancer risk and guide future care.
This study looks at DNA patterns in families where cancer may run in families, to better understand inherited (passed-down) cancer risk. You may be able to help even if you’re not sure whether your cancer is genetic—your family history and, if needed, medical records or tumor samples can be used.
