Fanconi anemia complementation group B (FANCB) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions in DNA repair. Missense mutations, synonymous mutations, nonsense mutations, and frameshift deletions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, sarcomas, and stomach cancer.

FANCB is altered in 1.65% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, melanoma, colon adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and breast invasive ductal carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in FANCB are FANCB Mutation (1.57%), FANCB L43I (0.07%), FANCB Loss (0.04%), FANCB Q524E (0.04%), and FANCB Amplification (0.05%) [3].
