a Mutations in genes that are either recurrently altered in UM or listed among COSMIC Cancer Gene Census driver genes. Responses in the trial are indicated. b Copy number profiles of each tumor inferred from exome sequencing data of tumors and matched normal tissue. Differences in color intensity depend on copy number amplitude and tumor purity. c, d OS and PFS analyses comparing patients with GNAQ- or GNA11-mutated UM (n = 21). e Fisher’s exact test of BAP1 mutational status versus responses in the PEMDAC trial. PD: progressive disease; SD: stable disease; PR: partial response. f Number of detected mutations from exome-sequencing data. g CT scans of patient 4–022 at baseline and at best response (22 months post therapy). Arrows show PET-positive lesions that disappeared from the dorsal neck region and left gluteus. h, i Comparison of OS and PFS to assess if UM patients with a wild-type BAP1 status or a UV-damaged genome survive longer than the other patients (n = 24). In (c, d) and (h, i), p-values for survival associations were calculated using log-rank tests. No adjustments for multiple comparisons were made. All statistical tests were two-sided. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
