The Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) gene encodes several protein isoforms that function as inhibitors of CDK4 and ARF. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, in-frame deletions, frameshift deletions and insertions, and whole gene deletions are observed in cancer such as cancers of the genital tract, mesothelioma, ovarian cancer, skin cancer, and multiple other cancer types.

CDKN2A is altered in 10.19% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, conventional glioblastoma multiforme, cutaneous melanoma, and bladder urothelial carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

CDKN2A GENIE Cases - Top Diseases

The most common alterations in CDKN2A are CDKN2A Loss (8.05%), CDKN2A Mutation (3.10%), CDKN2A Nonsense (1.31%), CDKN2A R80* (0.43%), and CDKN2A R58* (0.31%) [3].
