Adenine DNA glycosylase
Synonyms [1]
MYH

The mutY homolog (MUTYH) gene encodes a protein that functions in oxidative DNA damage repair. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift insertions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and stomach cancer.

MUTYH is altered in 1.02% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, and cutaneous melanoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

MUTYH GENIE Cases - Top Diseases

The most common alterations in MUTYH are MUTYH Mutation (0.93%), MUTYH Amplification (0.11%), MUTYH Loss (0.05%), MUTYH A416T (0.03%), and MUTYH R531W (0.02%) [3].
