Erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) is a gene that encodes a receptor protein that belongs to the cytokine receptor family. The receptor protein functions in the activation of JAK2 tyrosine kinase. The protein also plays a role in erythroid cell survival. Fusions, rearrangements, missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift deletions are observed in cancers such as breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer.

EPOR is altered in 0.80% of all cancers with conventional glioblastoma multiforme, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, central nervous system embryonal neoplasm, glioblastoma, and poorly differentiated carcinoma, NOS having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in EPOR are EPOR A153V (0.07%), EPOR A396V (0.09%), EPOR D482N (0.09%), EPOR E425K (0.09%), and EPOR E49K (0.09%) [3].
