Programmed cell death 1 (PDCD1) is a gene that encodes a cell surface membrane protein that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. The protein functions in the differentiation of pro-B-cells. The protein may also be important for T-cell functioning and the prevention of autoimmune diseases. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions, and in-frame insertions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and skin cancer.

PDCD1 is altered in 0.97% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, and cutaneous melanoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
