GATA binding protein 1 (GATA1) is a gene that encodes a transcription factor protein that is a member of the GATA family. The protein functions in regulating the change in fetal hemoglobin to adult hemoglobin. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift insertions and deletions, and in-frame insertions and deletions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, hematopoietic and lymphoid cancers, and intestinal cancer

GATA1 is altered in 1.05% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, high grade ovarian serous adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, and endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in GATA1 are GATA1 Mutation (0.60%), GATA1 Loss (0.35%), GATA1 Exon 3 Mutation (0.21%), GATA1 Amplification (0.19%), and GATA1 Exon 2 Mutation (0.10%) [3].
