APC membrane recruitment protein 1 (AMER1) is a gene that encodes a protein that upregulates transcriptional activation by the Wilms tumor protein. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions, and frameshift insertions are observed in cancers such as colon cancer, kidney cancer, and endometrial cancer.

AMER1 is altered in 2.76% of all cancers with colon adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, prostate adenocarcinoma, cutaneous melanoma, and rectal adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
