V-maf avian musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog B (MAFB) is a gene that encodes a transcription factor protein that functions in the regulation of lineage-specific hematopoiesis. Fusions, missense, nonsense, and silent mutations are observed in cancers such as intestinal cancer, pleural cancer, and stomach cancer.

MAFB is altered in 0.17% of all cancers with colon adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, bladder urothelial carcinoma, and breast invasive ductal carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in MAFB are MAFB Amplification (0.09%), MAFB S123T (0.06%), MAFB A176T (0.03%), MAFB A177T (0.03%), and MAFB A180E (0.03%) [3].
