Choroidal melanoma is inherited?

Choroidal melanoma may be inherited.

Choroidal melanoma has genetic susceptibility. If the patient has a family history of choroidal melanoma, it is necessary to be vigilant. The risk of developing choroidal melanoma is much higher in children or relatives. If there are abnormalities such as partial loss of chromosome 3 or multiplication of chromosome 8 in the family, the probability of developing choroidal melanoma is higher.

In addition to genetic factors, choroidal melanoma may also be caused by long-term sun exposure, viral infection, exposure to toxic substances, etc. If recent symptoms such as decreased vision, visual distortion, eye pain, and exophthalmos occur, it is necessary to seek medical advice in time to rule out the possibility of choroidal melanoma.
