Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 17 (TNFRSF17) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions in B cell development and autoimmune response. The protein also functions in NF-kappaB and MAPK8/JNK activation. Missense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift insertions, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and skin cancer.

TNFRSF17 is altered in 0.50% of all cancers with colorectal adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, glioblastoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and melanoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
