Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) is a gene that encodes a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family that functions in cell cycle regulation. Specifically, the protein is important for the progression from G1 to S phase. Missense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift deletions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, skin cancer, and stomach cancer.

CDK2 is altered in 0.16% of all cancers with colon adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, conventional glioblastoma multiforme, and endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
