LYN proto-oncogene, SRC family tyrosine kinase (LYN) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions as a protein tyrosine kinase. The protein regulates mast cell degranulation and erythroid differentiation. Missense, nonsense, and silent mutations are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and skin cancer.

LYN is altered in 1.26% of all cancers with breast invasive ductal carcinoma, prostate adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, invasive breast carcinoma, and colon adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
