Fumarate hydratase (FH) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions as an enzyme in the TCA cycle. The protein catalyzes the synthesis of L-malate from fumarate. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, and silent mutations are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and skin cancer.

FH is altered in 1.25% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and bladder urothelial carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in FH are FH Mutation (0.91%), FH Amplification (0.32%), FH Loss (0.07%), FH Frameshift (0.05%), and FH Nonsense (0.05%) [3].
