V-ets avian erythroblastosis virus E26 oncogene homolog 1 (ETS1) is a gene that encodes a transcription factor protein that functions as either a transcriptional activator or repressor of multiple genes. The protein is also plays a role in stem cell development, cell senescence and death, and tumorigenesis. Fusions, missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift deletions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and pleural cancer.

ETS1 is altered in 0.80% of all cancers with adenocarcinoma of unknown primary, melanoma, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, basal cell carcinoma, and colon adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
