Ring finger protein 43 (RNF43) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions as a ubiquitin ligase that facilitate cell growth. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions and insertions, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as biliary tract cancers, intestinal cancer, and stomach cancer.

RNF43 is altered in 3.17% of all cancers with colon adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and lung adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
