Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 1 (TET1) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions as a dioxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine. The protein is also involved in active DNA demethylation. Fusions, missense mutations, nonsense mutations, and silent mutations are observed in cancers such as breast cancer, intestinal cancer, and ovarian cancer.

TET1 is altered in 2.19% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, prostate adenocarcinoma, and breast invasive ductal carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
