Abstract
Mucosal melanomas are not thought to be UV radiation (UVR)-driven, yet some present UVR-related mutations. Here the authors show that some mucosal melanomas, especially conjunctival, present mutations characteristic of UVR exposure, yet share structural variants typical of other mucosal melanomas.
