CRLF2 (cytokine receptor-like factor 2) is a gene that encodes for the protein cytokine receptor-like factor 2, a receptor protein that participates in activating STAT (signal transducer and activator of transcription) signaling. In cancer, CRLF2 rearrangements and one recurring mutation leading to CRLF2 overexpression have been identified in a subset of patients with high risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia who have an exceptionally dismal prognosis.

CRLF2 is altered in 1.04% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, high grade ovarian serous adenocarcinoma, cutaneous melanoma, and breast invasive ductal carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in CRLF2 are CRLF2 Loss (0.61%), CRLF2 Mutation (0.34%), CRLF2 Amplification (0.11%), CRLF2 S128L (0.03%), and CRLF2 Fusion (0.02%) [3].
