CD274
Overview
CD274 molecule (CD274; also known as PDL1) is a gene that encodes a protein that is known as programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1). The protein functions in the transmission of the costimulatory signal that is needed for T-cell proliferation. Interaction with the protein inhibits T-cell activation and proliferation. Fusions, missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift deletions are observed in cancers such as intestinal cancer, skin cancer, and stomach cancer.
CD274 is altered in 0.96% of all cancers with breast invasive ductal carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, conventional glioblastoma multiforme, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
The most common alterations in CD274 are CD274 Mutation (0.32%), CD274 Amplification (0.34%), CD274 Loss (0.30%), CD274 Fusion (0.02%), and CD274 R260H (0.02%) [3].
