Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) is a gene that encodes a protein-tyrosine kinase that functions in the interferon-alpha/beta and gamma signal transduction pathways. Fusions, rearrangements, missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions and insertions, and in-frame deletions and insertions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and stomach cancer.

JAK1 is altered in 1.88% of all cancers with endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, prostate adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, and lung adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in JAK1 are JAK1 Mutation (1.37%), JAK1 Amplification (0.19%), JAK1 Loss (0.11%), JAK1 Fusion (0.04%), and JAK1 R174* (0.02%) [3].
