Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) is a gene that encodes a protein that propagates cytokines signals via the phosphorylation of cytokine receptor subunits. Fusions, missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions and insertions are observed in cancers such as eye cancer, intestinal cancer, and skin cancer.

TYK2 is altered in 0.30% of all cancers with colon adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, melanoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, and skin squamous cell carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in TYK2 are TYK2 Mutation (1.20%), TYK2 Amplification (0.16%), TYK2 Fusion (0.02%), TYK2 Loss (0.12%), and TYK2 P814L (0.42%) [3].
