Whole genome landscapes of uveal melanoma show an ultraviolet radiation signature in iris tumours

Uveal melanoma has a propensity to metastasise. Here, the authors report the whole genome sequence of 103 uveal melanomas and find that the tumour mutational burden is variable and that two subsets of tumours are characterised by MBD4 mutations and a UV exposure signature.
