Death domain associated protein (DAXX) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions in transcriptional repression and apoptosis. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift insertions and deletions, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as adrenal cancer, intestinal cancer, and stomach cancer.

DAXX is altered in 1.45% of all cancers with pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm, lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and cutaneous melanoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
