Low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) is a gene that encodes a transmembrane low-density lipoprotein receptor protein that also functions as a co-receptor with Frizzled family proteins to transduce signals by Wnt proteins. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions and insertions, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as cervical cancer, skin cancer, and stomach cancer.

LRP5 is altered in 0.02% of all cancers with prostate adenocarcinoma and sarcoma, NOS having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in LRP5 are LRP5-MEN1 Fusion (0.02%) and LRP5-TP53 Fusion (0.04%) [3].
