BAP1 tumor predisposition syndrome - rare inherited disorder caused by mutations (changes) in the BAP1 gene. Having this mutation increases the risk of developing certain types of cancerous tumors of the skin, eyes, kidneys, and mesothelium (the tissue lining the chest and abdomen). The cancers usually develop at an early age, often grow quickly and are more likely to spread to other parts of the body. Benign (noncancerous) tumors of the skin can also occur. Not all people who have a mutation in the BAP1 gene will develop tumors
