Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (RAC1) is a small GTP binding gene of the Rho family that encodes a GTPase/small GTP-binding protein of the RAS superfamily. Frameshift mutations, missense mutations, and silent mutations are observed in cancers such as breast cancer and skin cancer.

RAC1 is altered in 0.98% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, cutaneous melanoma, colon adenocarcinoma, melanoma, and bladder urothelial carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
