Structural maintenance of chromosomes 1A (SMC1A) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions as an integral component of functional kinetochores. The protein is also suspected to play a role in DNA repair. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and stomach cancer.

SMC1A is altered in 1.34% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, conventional glioblastoma multiforme, and bladder urothelial carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in SMC1A are SMC1A Mutation (1.25%), SMC1A Amplification (0.10%), SMC1A R711Q (0.05%), SMC1A R711W (0.05%), and SMC1A R96H (0.11%) [3].
