TYK1

Leukocyte receptor tyrosine kinase (LTK) is a gene that encodes a protein that is a member of the ros/insulin receptor family of tyrosine kinases. Missense mutations, silent mutations, nonsense mutations, and frameshift deletions are observed in cancers such as skin cancer, colon cancer, and endometrial cancer.

LTK is altered in 2.43% of all cancers with breast invasive ductal carcinoma, prostate adenocarcinoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, adenocarcinoma of unknown primary, and bladder urothelial carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
