MPL
Overview
MPL proto-oncogene, thrombopoietin receptor (MPL) is a gene that encodes a protein that resembles members of the hematopoietic receptor superfamily. Missense, nonsense, and silent mutations are observed in cancers such as colorectal cancer, leukemias, lung cancer, and skin cancer.
MPL is altered in 1.24% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, cutaneous melanoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, and endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
The most common alterations in MPL are MPL Mutation (1.04%), MPL Amplification (0.20%), MPL Exon 10 Mutation (0.13%), MPL W515L (0.19%), and MPL Loss (0.04%) [3].
