Genetic study for uveal melanoma risk
Part of Cancer, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with uveal melanoma (newly, during treatment, or after treatment).
- You are enrolled in or have health insurance (social security).
- You do not have a known mutation in the BAP1 or MBD4 genes.
- You are willing to have your genes tested for research purposes.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are not under court-ordered guardianship.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks back at past medical records of people diagnosed with uveal melanoma. It helps researchers learn about the typical course of the disease by analyzing what already happened in care.
This study follows people with high-risk uveal (eye) melanoma after their initial treatment to better understand relapse risk. It may help your care team track you more closely using scheduled visits and blood tests.
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.
This study checks whether blood “biomarkers” (measurable signs in serum) can help diagnose metastatic uveal melanoma. If you have uveal melanoma, the study may look at how useful these blood tests are for spotting spread to other parts of the body.
This study uses whole exome and whole genome genetic tests to look for DNA changes linked to inherited or congenital eye problems. It may help families and doctors better understand the cause of the eye condition and guide future care.
This trial studies whether certain gene patterns and a blood test can help predict how melanoma might behave. It is for people with a thicker melanoma (greater than 2 mm) that has not spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body, and who are planning to have a sentinel lymph node biopsy.
