CD79a molecule, immunoglobulin-associated alpha (CD79A) is a gene that encodes the Ig-alpha protein. The protein functions as a component of the B-cell antigen that is a member of the B lymphocyte antigen receptor multimeric protein complex. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions and insertions, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as intestinal cancer, skin cancer, and stomach cancer.

CD79A is altered in 0.86% of all cancers with colon adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, cutaneous melanoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and breast invasive ductal carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in CD79A are CD79A Mutation (0.37%), CD79A Loss (0.21%), CD79A Amplification (0.19%), CD79A X190_splice (0.03%), and CD79A V69I (0.02%) [3].
