[Application of next-generation sequencing in the pathogenesis of uveal melanoma]

Uveal melanoma, as the most common intraocular malignant tumor in adults, has poor overall survival after metastasis. In recent years, next-generation sequencing technology has been increaingly applied in studying the genetic characteristics of diseases. From the perspectives of genome, epigenome, and transcriptome, this review summed up the genomics mutation, epigenomics regulation mechanism, and immune transcriptomic profiling of uveal melanoma in the context of next-generation sequencing technologies, especially chromosome copy number variation, gene mutation and DNA methylation.
