Notch 3 (NOTCH3) is a gene that encodes a protein that, in Droshophila, functions in the intracellular signaling pathways that are important for neural development. However, the protein's function is not clear in humans. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift deletions and insertions are observed in cancers such as intestinal cancer, skin cancer, and stomach cancer.

NOTCH3 is altered in 3.80% of all cancers with colon adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, cutaneous melanoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, and endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in NOTCH3 are NOTCH3 Mutation (3.59%), NOTCH3 Amplification (0.34%), NOTCH3 Fusion (0.09%), NOTCH3 Loss (0.04%), and NOTCH3 Deletion (0.04%) [3].
