Son of sevenless homolog 1 (SOS1) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Ras proteins. The protein regulates RAS proteins by mediating the exchange of GTP to GDP. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions and insertions, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and stomach cancer.

SOS1 is altered in 1.78% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, cutaneous melanoma, and breast invasive ductal carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

SOS1 GENIE Cases - Top Diseases

The most common alterations in SOS1 are SOS1 Mutation (1.59%), SOS1 N233Y (0.06%), SOS1 Amplification (0.04%), SOS1 Loss (0.03%), and SOS1 M269K (0.02%) [3].
