RPTOR independent companion of MTOR, complex 2 (RICTOR) is a gene that encodes the protein RICTOR (rapamycin-insensitive companion of mTOR). RICTOR is a member of the protein complex mTORC2 that functions in the regulation of actin organization, cell proliferation and survival. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, amplifications, and frameshift deletions and insertions have been observed in cancers such as breast cancer, endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, lung cancer, and stomach cancer.

RICTOR is altered in 2.35% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, bladder urothelial carcinoma, and endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

RICTOR GENIE Cases - Top Diseases

The most common alterations in RICTOR are RICTOR Mutation (1.69%), RICTOR Amplification (0.68%), RICTOR S1101L (0.03%), RICTOR S1284L (0.02%), and RICTOR Loss (0.02%) [3].
