Signal transducer and activator of transcription 6, interleukin-4 induced (STAT6) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions as a transcription activator. The protein is specifically important for in IL4 mediated biological responses. Fusions, missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift deletions and insertions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and skin cancer.

STAT6 is altered in 0.87% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, solitary fibrous tumor, follicular lymphoma, colon adenocarcinoma, and endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
