RECQ4

RecQ helicase-like 4 (RECQL4) is a gene that encodes a DNA helicase that is predominantly expressed in thymus and testis. Missense mutations, synonymous mutations, nonsense mutations, and frameshift deletions are observed in cancers such as stomach cancer, colon cancer, and endometrial cancer.

RECQL4 is altered in 4.64% of all cancers with breast invasive ductal carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, high grade ovarian serous adenocarcinoma, and prostate adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
