BRCA associated protein-1 (ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase) (BAP1) is a gene that encodes a protein that has a high affinity for the BRCA1 protein and functions as a tumor suppressor protein. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift insertions and deletions, and in-frame insertions and deletions are observed in cancers such as biliary tract cancers, eye cancers, and pleura cancers.

BAP1 is altered in 2.45% of all cancers with clear cell renal cell carcinoma, pleural epithelioid mesothelioma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in BAP1 are BAP1 Mutation (1.48%), BAP1 Nonsense (0.32%), BAP1 Loss (0.28%), BAP1 Fusion (0.20%), and BAP1 Amplification (0.04%) [3].
