Lysine (K)-specific demethylase 5A (KDM5A) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions in gene regulation by demethylating lysine residues on histone H3. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions and insertions, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and stomach cancer.

KDM5A is altered in 3.01% of all cancers with colon adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and melanoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
