Uveal melanoma is often fatal, but tumours with mutations in the SF3B1 gene are more likely to have a good outcome, new research suggests. Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine reported their findings in Nature Genetics. Read more here.

Study mentioned: Harbour JW, et al. Recurrent mutations at codon 625 of the splicing factor SF3B1 in uveal melanoma. Nat Genet. 2013 Jan 13. [Epub ahead of print] PMID: 23313955
