SMAD family member 2 (SMAD2) is a gene that encodes a protein that is a member of the SMAD family. The protein functions as a signal transducer and transcriptional regulator for several signaling pathways, particularly the TGF-beta signaling pathway. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift deletions and insertions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and stomach cancer.

SMAD2 is altered in 1.28% of all cancers with colon adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, rectal adenocarcinoma, and endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
