Lysine (K)-specific demethylase 6A (KDM6A) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions in the catalysis of the demethylation of tri/dimethylated histone H3. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, whole gene deletions, frameshift deletions and insertions, and in-frame deletions and insertions are observed in cancers such as parathyroid cancer, salivary gland cancer, and cancers of the urinary tract.
