Excision repair cross-complementation group 2 (ERCC2) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions in the nucleotide excision repair pathway. Missense mutations and silent mutations are observed in cancers such as colon cancer, stomach cancer, and ovarian cancer.

ERCC2 is altered in 1.97% of all cancers with bladder urothelial carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, and endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

ERCC2 GENIE Cases - Top Diseases

The most common alterations in ERCC2 are ERCC2 Mutation (1.56%), ERCC2 Amplification (0.24%), ERCC2 Loss (0.11%), ERCC2 N238S (0.06%), and ERCC2 D732G (0.07%) [3].
