Uveal melanoma (UM) can be classified by gene expression profiling (GEP) into Class 1 (low metastatic risk) and Class 2 (high metastatic risk), the latter being strongly associated with mutational inactivation of the tumor suppressor BAP1. Nevertheless, a small percentage of Class 1 tumors give rise to metastatic disease. The purpose of this study was to identify biomarkers of metastasis in Class 1 tumors. 389 consecutive patients with UM were assigned to Class 1 or 2 using a prospectively validated 12-gene prognostic classifier. Selected tumors were further analyzed using global GEP and SNP microarrays. PRAME mRNA expression was analyzed in 64 Class 1 tumors by qPCR. Among Class 1 UMs, the most significant predictor of metastasis was PRAME mRNA expression (P=0.0006). The 5-year actuarial rate of metastasis was 0% for Class1PRAME−, 38% for Class1PRAME+, and 71% for Class 2 tumors. Median metastasis-free survival for Class1PRAME+ patients was 88 months, compared to 32 months for Class 2 patients. Findings were validated using three independent datasets, including one using disomy 3 to identify low-risk UM. Chromosome copy number changes associated with Class1PRAME+ tumors included gain of 1q, 6p, 8q, and 9q and loss of 6q and 11q. PRAME expression was associated with larger tumor diameter (P=0.05) and SF3B1 mutations (P=0.003). PRAME is an independent prognostic biomarker in UM that identifies increased metastatic risk in patients with Class 1 or disomy 3 tumors. This finding may further enhance the accuracy of prognostic testing and precision medicine for UM.
