Forkhead box L2 (FOXL2) is a gene that encodes a forkhead transcription factor protein that functions in ovarian development and function. Missense and silent mutations are observed in cancers such as cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, and testicular cancer.

FOXL2 is altered in 1.08% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, ovarian granulosa cell tumor, colon adenocarcinoma, prostate adenocarcinoma, and breast invasive ductal carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
