Nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptie gene enhancer in B-cells 1 (NFKB1) is a gene that encodes a protein that is a subunit of the NF-kappa-B complex, a transcription regulator. Missense mutations, silent mutations, nonsense mutations, and frameshift insertions are observed in cancers such as skin cancer, colon cancer, and endometrial cancer.

NFKB1 is altered in 0.29% of all cancers with cervical squamous cell carcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, endometrial serous adenocarcinoma, high grade ovarian serous adenocarcinoma, and anaplastic astrocytoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in NFKB1 are NFKB1 Mutation (1.57%), NFKB1 A604V (0.39%), NFKB1 A623T (0.39%), NFKB1 A890T (0.39%), and NFKB1 D786V (0.20%) [3].
