Sequencing of the complete BAP1 exome (17 exons) was
carried out from germline DNA derived from the proband. A
novel point mutation was identified in exon 14, c.1777C>T
(p.Q593X), of the BAP1 gene (Figure 1B, C) resulting in the
introduction of a truncating, premature stop codon. Additional
family members were tested for the presence of this germline
mutation and the mutation was identified in family members
