Stromal antigen 2 (STAG2) is a gene that codes for cohesin subunit SA-2,a subunit of the cohesin complex, which is involved in many cellular processes, such as DNA double-strand break repair and chromatid segregation during mitosis (PMID: 19886810). Mutations in STAG2 have been observed in MDS, AML, bladder cancer, and other cancers (PMID: 24854081PMID: 23443460). Inactivation of cohesin may be a cause of aneuploidy in cancer (Gene 2014PMID: 24854081).

STAG2 is altered in 2.66% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, bladder urothelial carcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and conventional glioblastoma multiforme having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

STAG2 GENIE Cases - Top Diseases

The most common alterations in STAG2 are STAG2 Mutation (1.99%), STAG2 Nonsense (0.47%), STAG2 Loss (0.15%), STAG2 Amplification (0.06%), and STAG2 Q340K (2.16%) [3].
