Cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions in the phosphorylation of the C-terminal of the large subunit of RNA polymerase II, the maintenance of genomic stability, and the process of DNA repair. 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.

CDK12 is altered in 3.43% of all cancers with breast invasive ductal carcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, prostate adenocarcinoma, and invasive breast carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

CDK12 GENIE Cases - Top Diseases

The most common alterations in CDK12 are CDK12 Mutation (1.81%), CDK12 Amplification (2.00%), CDK12 Nonsense (0.25%), CDK12 Fusion (0.13%), and CDK12 Loss (0.03%) [3].
