FUS RNA binding protein (FUS) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) complex. The protein complex has a role in pre-mRNA splicing and the export of processed mRNA to the cytoplasm. Fusions, missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and skin cancer.
