Thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) is a gene that encodes a membrane protein that controls thyroid cell metabolism. The protein functions as a receptor for thyrothropin and thyrostimulin. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as intestinal cancer, skin cancer, and thyroid cancer.

TSHR is altered in 1.44% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, cutaneous melanoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and melanoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
