Loss of ZNF750 in ocular and cutaneous sebaceous carcinoma.

We show complete loss of the ZNF750 epidermal differentiation regulator in about half of ocular SeC, highlighting the most common genetic defect in this cancer type. Loss of ZNF750 expression is seen even in tumors without truncating mutations and reduced in many of the remaining ocular and cutaneous SeC. In contrast, no ZNF750 loss was detected in benign sebaceous proliferations.
