Lysine (K)-specific methyltransferase 2D (KMT2D) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions as a histone methyltransferase that methylates the LYS-4 position of histone H3. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions and insertions, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as intestine cancer, skin cancer, and stomach cancer.
