Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) is a gene that encodes a protein that is a receptor tyrosine kinase that binds insulin-like growth factor. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as intestinal cancer, skin cancer, and stomach cancer.

IGF1R is altered in 2.41% of all cancers with breast invasive ductal carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and cutaneous melanoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in IGF1R are IGF1R Mutation (1.86%), IGF1R Amplification (0.50%), IGF1R Loss (0.06%), IGF1R R1246C (0.02%), and IGF1R K560R (0.11%) [3].
