Genomic Landscape of GNAQ and GNA11 Mutations in Metastatic Solid Tumors: A Real-World Data Analysis.

PURPOSE: Activating mutations in GNAQ and GNA11 are recognized oncogenic drivers in uveal melanoma (UM); however, their prevalence across various cancers and their genomic context remain inadequately characterized. CONCLUSION: This real-world analysis demonstrates that GNAQ and GNA11 mutations are not exclusive to UM, occurring across diverse solid tumors, particularly colorectal cancer.
