Identification of new predisposition factors could lead to better monitoring and possibly improved treatments of patients with UM.ObjectiveTo identify new genetic alterations predisposing for UM.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis was a prospective cohort study conducted at Institut Curie in Paris, France, among 381 consecutive patients diagnosed with UM between July 2021 and February 2023. UM was diagnosed clinically by ophthalmologists, and a senior pathologist confirmed the diagnosis when tumor or biopsy was available. All participants received genetic counseling and consented to extended genetic testing. A panel of 122 genes predisposing to cancer were analyzed by targeted sequencing on germline DNA from these patients.Main Outcomes and MeasuresFrequency of pathogenic variants (PVs) in genes from a targeted panel, with classification of germline PVs done according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines and the French Unicancer Genetics Group.ResultsA total of 79 PVs were identified in 70 participants (41 female and 29 male; mean [SD] age, 60.6 [15.3] years). Among them, 21 were found in clinically relevant genes, with an enrichment in the mismatch repair (MMR) genes, involved in Lynch syndrome, a frequent predisposition to colon and endometrial cancers. This finding suggested MMR germline PVs could also predispose to UM. One tumor was available from a participant carrying a <jats:italic>MLH1</jats:italic> germline PV. The tumor exhibited a monosomy 3 with loss of the wild-type allele of <jats:italic>MLH1</jats:italic>, located on chromosome 3. Loss of expression of <jats:italic>MLH1</jats:italic> was observed by immunohistochemistry, and MMR variant signatures SBS6, ID1, and ID2 were identified from the whole-genome sequencing of this tumor, supporting the possibility that <jats:italic>MLH1</jats:italic> contributes to the oncogenesis of this UM.Conclusions and RelevanceThis prospective germline study on patients with UM provided evidence supporting the notion that MMR germline alterations are enriched among patients with UM and may contribute to oncogenesis of UM, and that UM may therefore be a rare tumor manifestation of Lynch syndrome.","PeriodicalId":14518,"journal":{"name":"JAMA ophthalmology","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144319748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fundus photographs from a random subset (70%) were used to train a deep learning model to predict SER, with the goal of developing a model that learned to capture the nonpathological variations in fundus appearance from −15.50 D to 9.25 D. The trained model was applied to the remaining subset (internal unseen set) to derive FRO for each eye. FRO was also computed for an external dataset (the Caledonian cohort, 2023-2024) with enhanced depth imaging OCT and AL data for 152 right eyes. Data were analyzed from July to November 2024.ExposureFRO, defined as the error in fundus-predicted SER. A more negative FRO indicated a more myopic-looking fundus than typical for an eye with the same SER.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe association between FRO and macular thickness (MT) was tested using linear mixed-effects regression in the internal unseen set, controlling for SER, age, sex, and race. In the external dataset, the associations of FRO with choroidal area, choroidal vascularity index (CVI), and MT were examined using linear fixed-effects regression, controlling for SER (and subsequently AL) and other aforementioned covariates.ResultsHigh-quality OCT data were available from 9524 eyes in the internal unseen set and 152 eyes in the external dataset among individuals with a mean (SD) age of 54.5 (8.2) years and 19.3 (3.8) years, respectively.
