Calreticulin (CALR) is a calcium-binding protein that functions in calcium storage and transcription regulation. Missense mutations, silent mutations, nonsense mutations, and frameshift insertions and deletions are observed in cancers such as colorectal cancer, leukemias, myeloproliferative neoplasms, and stomach cancer.

CALR is altered in 1.22% of all cancers with myeloproliferative neoplasm, high grade ovarian serous adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, essential thrombocythemia, and breast invasive ductal carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
