Notch 2 (NOTCH2) is a gene that encodes a transmembrane protein that functions in multiple developmental processes and the interactions between adjacent cells. The transmembrane protein also functions as a receptor for membrane bound ligands. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift deletions and insertions are observed in cancers such as intestinal cancer, skin cancer, and cancers of the urinary tract.

NOTCH2 is altered in 3.57% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, cutaneous melanoma, and bladder urothelial carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in NOTCH2 are NOTCH2 Mutation (2.82%), NOTCH2 Amplification (0.45%), NOTCH2 Fusion (0.13%), NOTCH2 Loss (0.05%), and NOTCH2 R2400* (0.04%) [3].
