Casitas B-lineage Lymphoma (CBL) proto-oncogene is a gene that encodes the CBL protein, which is a RING finger E3 ubiquitin ligase. This ligase is an enzyme that functions in the tagging of substrates for degradation by the proteasome. Fusions, nonsense and silent mutations are observed in cancers such as acute myeloid leukemia, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, and skin cancer.

CBL is altered in 1.91% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, cutaneous melanoma, colon adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and melanoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in CBL are CBL Mutation (1.63%), CBL c.1096-c.1259 Missense (0.40%), CBL Exon 8 Mutation (0.33%), CBL Exon 9 Mutation (0.28%), and CBL Loss (0.12%) [3].
