Protein [2]
Core-binding factor subunit beta
Synonyms [1]
PEBP2B

Core-binding factor, beta subunit (CBFB) is a gene that encodes a protein that is the beta subunit in a core-binding transcription factor of the PEBP2/CBF family. The protein functions in the regulation of genes that are involved in hematopoiesis. Fusions, missense and nonsense mutations are observed in cancers such as breast cancer and intestinal cancer.

CBFB is altered in 1.05% of all cancers with breast invasive ductal carcinoma, breast invasive lobular carcinoma, invasive breast carcinoma, mixed lobular and ductal breast carcinoma, and lung adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

CBFB GENIE Cases - Top Diseases

The most common alterations in CBFB are CBFB Mutation (0.67%), CBFB X55_splice (0.14%), CBFB Loss (0.12%), CBFB Amplification (0.07%), and CBFB P70fs (0.06%) [3].
