An article explaining the biological and clinical characteristics of BAP1<\/abbr> Cancer Syndrome, and highlighting the significance of BAP1<\/abbr> mutations in human cancer, was recently published, with University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> Cancer Center<\/a> researcher Michele Carbone<\/strong> as lead author. Written in collaboration with scientists from five other institutions across the nation, it was published in Cancer Discovery<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The BAP1<\/abbr> Cancer Syndrome, caused by inherited mutations of the BAP1<\/abbr> gene, was discovered by Carbone and his team at the 糖心视频<\/abbr> Cancer Center in 2011. Since then, many affected individuals have been identified in the U.S.<\/abbr>, Europe, Australia, Japan and the Middle East.<\/p>\n
