SLX4 structure-specific endonuclease subunit (SLX4) is a gene that encodes a protein that is part of a complex required for specific types of DNA repair and for cellular responses to replication fork failure. Missense mutations, synonymous mutations, nonsense mutations, and frameshift deletions are observed in cancers such as colon cancer, skin cancer, and stomach cancer.

SLX4 is altered in 3.16% of all cancers with colon adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, and prostate adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in SLX4 are SLX4 Mutation (2.79%), SLX4 Loss (0.13%), SLX4 Amplification (0.10%), SLX4 R1021C (0.02%), and SLX4 E179D (0.08%) [3].
