SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 9 (SOX9) is a gene that encodes a protein that recognizes the CCTTGAG sequence on DNA. The protein regulates transcription of the anti-Muellerian hormone (AMH) gene. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions and insertions, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as intestinal cancer, meningeal cancer, and stomach cancer.

SOX9 is altered in 2.76% of all cancers with colon adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, rectal adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and colorectal adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
