SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 10 (SOX10) is a gene that encodes a transcription factor protein that is a member of the SOX family. The protein functions in the regulation of embryonic development. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift deletions and insertions are observed in cancers such as bone cancer, skin cancer, and stomach cancer.

SOX10 is altered in 1.10% of all cancers with cutaneous melanoma, colon adenocarcinoma, bladder urothelial carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and breast invasive ductal carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
