Protein phosphatase 2, regulatory subunit A, alpha (PPP2R1A) is a gene that encodes a protein that is a subunit of protein phosphatase 2, a complex implicated in the negative control of cell growth and division. Missense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions, and nonsense mutations are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, colon cancer, and vulvar cancer.

PPP2R1A is altered in 1.82% of all cancers with endometrial serous adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, and lung adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in PPP2R1A are PPP2R1A Mutation (1.49%), PPP2R1A Amplification (0.26%), PPP2R1A P179R (0.22%), PPP2R1A R183W (0.20%), and PPP2R1A S256F (0.16%) [3].
