AKT1 (v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1) is a gene that encodes for the protein RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase. AKT1 plays a key role in multiple cell processes, including growth, proliferation, survival, and angiogenesis. AKT1 mutations are observed in many cancer types.

AKT1 is altered in 1.78% of all cancers with breast invasive ductal carcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and invasive breast carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

AKT1 GENIE Cases - Top Diseases

The most common alterations in AKT1 are AKT1 Mutation (1.48%), AKT1 E17K (0.87%), AKT1 Amplification (0.28%), AKT1 Loss (0.11%), and AKT1 L52R (0.06%) [3].
